Hello
Is it feasible to install FreeBSD on a PC with the following disks
a small (99M) IDE drive (C:)  '/'
a big SCSI drive (2G) on Adaptec 1542 (d:) - split in to /usr /var and swap

I have been failing to get it to boot - install goes OK but can't get it
to boot up. 

Any other combination / suggestions welcomed.

Thanks
Neil
