i've got a relativly stupid question, but, we've exausted all other
resources, and now i'm turning to the mass minded freebsd (ab)user
community.

here's the problem:

we're trying to install FreeBSD 3.2 on to a compaq presario 2200. now, as
expected, we're having problems with it, but nothing that we've done has
so far solved them, any of them. basically, the machine refuses to boot
anything remotely resembling freebsd.

i suspect that it's a problem with teh Filesystem type (FFS) and what the
BIOS likes and wants, but i'm not sure. we've tried just about every trick
in and out of the book, and are now out of ideas. any suggestions?

please, don't send me anything like "get better hardware". changing hte
hardware isn't really an option.


thanks much,
-- jan
