Hi all!

I am considering installing FreeBSD on a Dell Pro200 (pentium pro 200)
that I have from work (to be used for windoze stuff). I first need to
put in another disk, so in the meantime I tried booting up the install
floppy, just to see if there would be any peculiarities.

well.. on boot, I noticed the message:

	Warning! Defective Early Revision Adapter

it scrolled off the screen, so I am not even sure where it came.

what does this mean?
