Hi Abbas, You have me confused. Are you actually running 3.1 or trying to install it. If you are trying to install it, you didn't do your homework. Read http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html because it tells you that two floppies are required because the boot is too large. Download the files, follow the instructions, and it should work better next time. BTW, I did an install from a Win98 Startup disk the first time and have since created boot floppies using dd to write them from FreeBSD. If you are running 3.1 and are having problems, then you need to tells us what is wrong and someone will help you. BTW, I have a BX6r2 board but it is one of my Windows NT systems with a P-II 400 for a cpu. In a pure computation mode the P-II and PC100Mhz memory can be significantly faster than the Celeron 433 system using PC66 memory. I see the 50% difference in memory speed. A work unit from Seti@Home requires 50% longer on the Celeron than it does on the BX6r2 system.
