I have a 486DX 33 MHZ with 8 Megs of RAM and a 420 meg HD I have a SIIG EIDE Hard Drive Controler. I have a Trident Video Card. My Operating System is Windows 95. I am copying the boot.flp image file to a 1.44 meg floppy using RaWrite. I can copy the image file to the disk, but when I try to boot from it I get a blank screen. I can get the disk to boot on my 386 but I cannot install because it does not have a connection to the internet, and it only has 2 megs of RAM. Is Free BSD not compatable with my system? Or is Windows 95 conflicting with the installation in some way? If you could help me I would greatly appriciate feedback. Kurbjun@pobox.upenn.edu
