Hello

I am new too FreeBSD and coming from the linux world...I have an old 486
machine that I use as a NAT gateway using Debian Linux, and I have never
managed to get the machine to boot from the harddrive (even after using a
/boot partition etc), so i quite happily use a boot-diskette. So my
question is what and how does one do the equivalent thing in FreeBSD? Yes,
I have tried installing a FreeBSD on the machine and it doesn't want to
boot either, the machine justs asks for a diskette (nothing in the bios
settings either, its an IBM 433 DXS) 

Any ideas?

Thanks

James
