Interesting. I didn't know about that.

I'm surprised the "Bible" didn't go into more detail. Without knowing
your problem, it's difficult to say. You should understand that
you're going to need a separate partition in which to install
FreeBSD. I suppose the simple answer is "Read the file INSTALL.TXT in
the root directory of the CD-ROM", but that makes assumptions about
the CD-ROM, which I don't know. If that doesn't help, you have a
number of choices:
1. Make a boot floppy and just try it out. Again, that depends on
the CD.
2. Buy "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition
(http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm), which comes with or
without CD-ROMs (we're currently at 2.2.7). If you have trouble
with the book, you're assured of my personal attention solving
them.
3. Send a message to this mailing list describing in some detail what
problems you have. You might fine
http://www.lemis.com/questions.html to be of use here.
