I have been trying to install Walnut Creek FreeBSD since last week, but
I still can't make it to boot.  I have Windows NT and Linux on my first
hard drive, I am using the Windows NT boot loader to load the OS.  I
have tried all three boot options during the FreeBSD installation, none
of them worked.  Could someone give me a hand, telling me step by step
how to make it work.  I am trying to install FreeBSD on my second hard
drive, which is empty.

It seems there are a lot more Linux users than FreeBSD users.  Now I
kind know why this happend.  No support for ATAPI CDROM, hard to
install.... ....  Wondering if I can return my cdrom.
