Any answer > would be really appreciated. I *think* you are using the wrong instructions. I've never installed that way. Perhaps using the floppies would help. See the http://www.freebsddiary.com/freebsd/dual.htm and it will walk you through installation on a Windows 95 box. It will also point you to the sections in the handbook you should have read. It *sounds* to me like you didn't do that first. cheers. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
