I had to install onto a 2nd hard drive and then boot into that no, but the CDROM has the kern.flp floopy which should be sufficient. as nearly you can, interrupt the boot process using <space> then you should get the following prompt : >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader boot: you just have to enter : 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader if that don't work, let's try : 0:ad(0,a)/kernel which should work in any case.
