>Description:
          hey there, i got a bug to report,
i am from india and recently i got my hands on a free bsd issue, after
hearing a lot of it i finally decided to install it, i got a 40 gb drive
formatted, installed win 98 opened the iso files using win rar and i went
to the tools copied the fdimage to the floppy folder and copied te image
of kern and mfsroot to two floppy drives.  i rebooted my system made a
change in bios to boot in floppy.

i inserted my kern floppy and it booted and after some time it gave an
echo and asked me insert anothr floppy ( mfs root) it started to read
the floppy and gave som random white charecters in the screen, (some
thing found and some thing not found, it went on for a few moments and
then it stalled, it first gave a time out and then it stalled i waited
for 15 min and then i turned off the computer, i tried the same in
another machine it worked perfectly fine.

now lemme give the description of my pc. 

my pc works on a seagate 40 gb hard disk with and amd k6  processer
and a 64 mb ram. a normal wheel mouse. and that all i think you need
to know, if there is any thing else plz lemme know

ya aftr that i read the ya aftr that i read the install manual and saw
the same problem of a guy, you asked to a line "hint" in the loader
.conf file  so i did but again the same problem is there any other way
to install this or if any other line that i missed
