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
