I recently got FreeBSD 2.2.2 from Walnut Creek CDROM. It seems that I was able 
to do a partial install.
When I boot my system (Windows 95) I do get the F? prompt asking for DOS or 
FreeBSD. However, as I follow the steps outlined in the Novice installation, I 
run into problems at the FreeBSD Disklabel Editor:
There is nothing there to edit!
When I select 'A', it says, "you can only do this in a disk slice (at top of 
screen)". So I press Q. As I move along the process, I get the messages
        
                                                   no root device found
                                     
                                                   no swap devices found

                                                   no /usr filesystem found

                                                   couldn't make filesystems 
properly. Aborting


I can't seem to solve this problem. Do think you can help? Thanks.
