System that I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 is:

Pentium-120 with Triton chipset, onboard EIDE.
3 Hard Drives and One CDROM.

Trying to install FreeBSD to Primary Slave drive from Primary Master
drive using DOS partition method.

The problem is that it can't find all the files in DOS partition.  For
example it can't find root files and even some of XFree86 files and
such.  It finds some of the files but not all of it.
I verified that all the files are in FREEBSD directory and files that
it is trying to install but could not find is there in fact!

I would appreciate if someone can think of what might be possible
cause of this symptom!

Thanks,

Joseph
