I was able to get 1.1.5.1 to work just fine with os-bs, but am having a 
helluva hard time getting 2.0 to install.  It boots and says "error 
loading operation system."  I remember getting similar problems w/ 
1.1.5.1, but I fiddle with the cylinders, secors, etc. but those numbers 
don't work w/ 2.0 since it won't allow more than 256 sectors.  What 
should I do?  BTW, I have a gig hard drive w/ about 600 megs worth of dos 
shit so I can't just wipe it out and put BSD on the first partition now.  
Even that never worked before..

I hope someone can help me..  Thanx..
