I have a P-133, 2.1G IDE hard drive w/ accompanying toshiba 8x IDE cdrom
drive, and am running ms-dos6&win95 on a first 1G slice. The second slice
is formatted for fbsd and I have been attempting to reinstall the freebsd
os after an unfortunate formatting accident from my dos side, but am 
getting writing errors no matter how simple the install (even on the
bins). I have a wcreek cd of FreeBSD v2.1.1, from the fall, which I had
previously installed onto my drive using this method of loading from the
1st slice, but as that is not working I am in need of other options. In
particular is there a functional atapi-cd boot.flp that could be used so
that the installer would recognize my cdrom after boot so as to load from
cd? Any thoughts would of use.
