OK.....thanks to Doug Junkins and my roomate's Mitsumi CD-ROM I have
gotten the Boot floppy to run on my Gateway P-60 24MB system.

I tried all kinds of different configurations (One HD and the cd-rom...two
drive and cd-rom, cd-rom and HD on same controller)  Nothing worked.

Aparently the NEC 2x cd-rom shipped with 1994 Gateway 2000 computers does
not like the 2.2.6 FreeBSD kernel.

My solution is to buy a new CD-ROM.
