I tried installing FreeBSD 2.1 and later a snapshot of 2.2 on a Compaq 
Presario 425, from CD-ROMs.  I chose the novice installation, as I am new 
to FreeBSD.  After fdisking a primary partition, (hda4, as I recall), 
upon reboot, loading the first MSDOS primary partition, a RAMDISK 
suddenly would not work.  Afterwards, when I ran CFDISK from a Linux 
install, I was informed that there were errors in the partitioning, and 
it refused to even run.  These problems went away when DOS' FDISK deleted 
the FreeBSD partition, and perhaps also some logical drives which were 
corrupted, but they came back when retrying the FreeBSD installation.
