Help,
  I'm trying to install FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 and am having a problem.
I get part way through the install, and at the point i'm told to reboot
and then when the system boots it will ask for the "cpio" disk, it
instead goes into a never ending boot and reboot cycle. It gives no
error message? any help?
 Thanks
