I downloaded the boot disk from your web page and followed the install instructions. I formatted the disk in DOS mode (of W95) and used rawrite. When I boot it looks at the C drive for 30 secs after the A drive was used for a few moments, and then just sits there. A cursor is all I get. I have a Compaq Presario CSD 924 (486DX2-66 8meg ram). I have a 500 meg hard drive (came with the system) on a built in IDE card. We recently added a 1.6 gig hard drive (which is on an EIDE controller card) and it works flawlessly. Are there any quick fixes for this? Am I just SOL? I would appreciate a prompt response if it is possible since I am on break between semesters and have only a few weeks. After that I will not be able to even try installing FBSD until May. I am an experienced Unix user who wants to have the power of Unix on my PC. Thank you very much, Brian
