Ok, here I am again, but this time I'm replying to myself. Well I figured 
out why I got that disk full error: filesyst.flp  I guess somehow it got 
filled up... I re-rawrote it and now I have the kernel installed on the 
second partition on my hard drive (right after my DOS one). But I can't 
boot off of the FreeBSD partition for some really strange reason. My 
computer just says, "Missing operating system"

The FreeBSD partition _is_ over 1000 cylinders. I would change that but 
then is it possible to add the rest of my hard drive later? Oh well, it 
seems I have no choice now. I'll do that and hope someone will show me 
how to add another partition to FreeBSD.

	Thanks,
	Sherman
