Well FreeBSD will install, but it won't boot even from floppy doing
sd(0,a)/kernel. I get Error: C: H: S:, which comes from dosboot
(disk.c) where FreeBSD is trying to read the disk parameters from 
the BIOS. I can mount the disk using the fixit disk as well as do an
fsck.
It just won't boot from eitehr sd0 or sd1.

Anyone tried to get a JAZ drive to work as the boot disk?
