I recently tried installing BSD, but to no avail. After setting
up my DOS partition, I put in the rawritten boot floppy, booted up,
then I got a message telling me to choose how I wanted to boot up along
with a boot: prompt. After about 5 seconds of waiting, my system rebooted
again. I tried pressing enter for defaults, still rebooted. I tried
a lot of different command lines, but nothing worked. Can anyone tell me
what I am doing wrong??? Thank you!
