I have an AST Powerexec 4/SL. It wont boot the boot disk for BSD (I
tried both the IDE versions.) I guess I am not totally sure what kind
of drive the internal one is (notebook removable). When it tries to
boot, it just looks at the disk for a about a second, and the sits,
nothing ever comes on the screen.

Any ideas, what am I doing wrong.
