Not available 
It is a pentium 150 with two IDE drives (both mode 4)
It was running FreeBSD 3.4 and earlier versions.

>Description:
I installed directly from the ISO image I downloaded. No errors
were reported. 

At the reboot, I get the btx menu (F1, F3, F5)but when I select 
one it just beeps. Even the 'perfectly good' :-)
DOS 5 partition won't boot any more. (Fixable by Fdisk /mbr)

I have reinstalled several times, repartitioning, new labels, etc
Same result every time.





>How-To-Repeat:
AFAICT the problem is unavoidable on my system. 
Install always fails. (Unwilling to try on other 
machines!)
>Fix:

 I later found the reference to a problem with Boot0 problems in the
 Errata
 for release 4.1, and a new version of boot0. Unfortunately, when I
 downloaded the new version, and tried boot0cfg, it said 'bad magic'.
 
 My guess is that downloading using a browser is equivalent to ftp in
 text mode.
 
 I compiled a boot0 from the source on the CD, and that does not work.
 I am still looking for a good source.
