 It turns out that booting from floppies and doing the install seems to 
 work.  Also, if I switch the order of the drives around, it seems to 
 work from the CD, making me suspect that BTX doesn't like something on 
 the hard drive I'm trying to install FreeBSD to.  Unfortunately, I 
 haven't figured out what.
 
 Using the boot floppies has it's own set of challenges, however (DHCP 
 doesn't seem to work with my Intel NIC, using the fxp0 driver - but 
 that's another issue).
