When I try to boot off boot.flp (downloaded twice and put on disk through rawrite.exe, didn't work either time) it starts off all right (with the Boot: prompt) but then after a minute or so the screen goes blank. When I turn the monitor off and on, I get a message on screen "Please check signal cable" and the only place I've been able to go from there is to reboot. I have a Princeton Graphics EO15 monitor. Until I get FreeBSD or Linux installed I am forced to run Windows. This is a cry for help. :-) Rohan.
