Yeah, someone else told me about that and I fixed that. Now I'm trying 
1.1.5R and there is a new problem. FreeBSD can't find my DOS partition... 
It says that my partition table is corrupt or missing. It's there and my 
MS-DOS 6 fdisk and my Buslogic version of fdisk have no problems.

I fear I may have caused the problem when I went screwed around too much 
with the install.
