I've tried making it a slave on the first IDE interface. That hung my
computer. I couldn't even boot win95.

I've also tried copying the files to a dir (C:\FREEBSD) on my win95
partition, and installing it from there. But that wouldn't work.

(I have two partitions, each 1500MB)

The installation program says "Read -1 bytes", Error..

Any suggestions to this problem?
