I recently got FreeBSD 2.2.2 from Walnut Creek CDROM. It seems that I was able to do a partial install. When I boot my system (Windows 95) I do get the F? prompt asking for DOS or FreeBSD. However, as I follow the steps outlined in the Novice installation, I run into problems at the FreeBSD Disklabel Editor: There is nothing there to edit! When I select 'A', it says, "you can only do this in a disk slice (at top of screen)". So I press Q. As I move along the process, I get the messages no root device found no swap devices found no /usr filesystem found couldn't make filesystems properly. Aborting I can't seem to solve this problem. Do think you can help? Thanks.
