Finally I copied all the files in the BIN directory and the rawrite.exe and floppy.flp. I tried to install FreeBSD and everything went fine until I got to the part where it asked about partions. I followed it's instructions on creating a new partion. (I selected an unused section and press 'C' and left all the default information). It created a partion called FREEBSD and I press 'Q' to continue. I then got to the next section and everytime I tried to press 'A' for auto-configuration or anything else it said Not Enough Space for defaults. (I know there's over 500 mb availible on drive C, and 1.08g on drive D). From that point I tried to continue and it wouldn't. Now when I tried to cancel the installation, FreeBSD installed it's bootmanager. My questions: 1) How can I install FreeBSD? 2) If I can't install FreeBSD how do I get rid of the boot manager. Thanks for any help.
