Hello, In trying to install freebsd, I have run into a problem which I hope
is easily worked around.

I downloaded the files needed to make a boot floppy, made a boot floppy,
then downloaded the whole bin directory from ftp.freebsd.org.  I then tried
to boot from the floppy by restarting.  Everything seemed to be going well,
I got to the Kernel setup screen and edited all of the hardware settings
according to my system setup.  I quit that, then it went on to the
'detecting' screen.  It went through most of the devices, but then, after
saying "wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa" a blank screen with only a
cursor in the bottom left came up. It seemed to freeze up at this point, I
have tried leaving it for quite some time and it still does nothing.

This is a Pentium 200 MMX running Windows 95.

Thank you for any assistance you can offer,
			Andrew
