yourself into the FreeBSD installation procedure. Assuming that you
have either a supported CDROM drive and an installation CD, or you
have a fast, reliable Internet connection to one of the FreeBSD mirror
sites, then this can be easily accomplished in one of two ways:
sites, then this can be easily accomplished in one of three ways:
1. If you have a FreeBSD distribution CD which you can see
from DOS, turn off any fancy memory managers you may have
running and do this:
1. If your system supports bootable CDROM media (usually an option
which can be selectively enabled in the controller's setup menu
or in the PC BIOS for some systems) and you have it enabled,
FreeBSD 2.2.1 and later CDs support the "El Torrito" bootable
CD standard and simply having the 1st CD in your CDROM drive
during system boot will cause the installation to be executed.
2. If you have a FreeBSD distribution CD which you can see
from DOS, first disable any fancy memory managers you may
have configured and do this:
E> install
You should boot directly into the FreeBSD installation
screen.

CONFIGURE YOUR KERNEL, go to step 2:

stop at the kernel configuration menu.
This approach also has a big advantage over the
``install.bat'' method if you need to configure your
kernel to match your hardware (see HARDWARE.TXT for
a table listing where everything expects to be found).
It allows you to drop into visual userconfig mode
where the direct-from-DOS installation (fbsdboot.exe)
currently does not.
Once you're in the installation screen, you should be able to follow
the various menu prompts and go from there. If you've never used the
