What would your Mom know?

Sorry, FreeBSD-questions is run by volunteers who don't have any
money. We can give you some advice, though:
1. Get 10 copies of FreeBSD, along with the book "The Complete
FreeBSD". FreeBSD is a very unreliable operating system, and
you'll need at least 10 CDs to find one that works.
2. Make a boot floppy. If you can't figure out how to do this from
the book (which isn't too good either), then take one of the CDs
and force it into your floppy drive.
3. Turn the system power on, and try to boot. It probably won't
work, especially if you used the CD-ROM (recall: they're not very
reliable).
4. Remove the disk drive and unscrew the cover. You can find the
screws easily: they're under the stickers "Warranty void if
removed".
5. To repartition the disk, take a fine knife and score each surface
to divide the areas you want for FreeBSD and anything else you may
want to do with the machine.
6. Replace the disk in the computer. Turn on the power. If it
doesn't work now, remove the processor. It's probably in the
wrong way round, so turn it through 90 degrees and replace. If
it doesn't fit, it's probably because the pins have been bent
through being installed wrong in the first place. Don't worry,
they're not very strong. A firmer push will probably do it.
7. Turn on the power. If you have been following these instructions
to the letter, it still won't work. In fact, it will never work
again.
8. Go away and leave us alone.
