I've partitioned my Dell Win95 HD into two 1 meg portions,
1 for WINdoze and 1 for Freebsd. They show up currently
as the C and D drives in both Windows and MSDOS. If I
boot in DOS and follow the instructions to install FreeBSD
on D: from the CDROM (E:) the fastboot hangs. This is
whether I copy bin and the top of the cdrom tree to D:
first and run it from there or also if I run these view
and the install off of the E drive.
hope all that's not too rambling.
Any ideas? I'm unix savvy but microsoft clueless.
