Also, there is much more to the installation than what is included on the two floppies, so you'll need a modem and internet connection on that serial port. I'd recommend fitting your HD to another PC and install the OS and build a custom kernel there and then fit it back in your toshiba. We are not supposed to answer technical questions on this list as they are all supposed to go to questions@freebsd.org where all the experts hang out, so I've CC'd this message there including the rest of your message below. Good luck to you, and come back here if you want to chat about FreeBSD newbie stuff (other than technical questions of course).
