Hello Ted and FreeBSD fans,

I have tried the FreeBSD 4.10 boot floppies and they work. I am still 
thinking about why 5.3 fails. I have tried some hint.*.*.*="*"  that I 
found searching on the Internet but it does not work.

I would like installing FreeBSD in that old machine. I had Debian woody 
working well there.


Thanks.
Ramiro.
