Hi
	I have a PC running Windows 95 on one partition and the other partition
is unused (both are about 512MB).
	When I boot off the floppy for FreeBSD installation evrything works fine
and I can install with no reported errors.
	On reboot when the option comes up F1 for DOS or F2 for BSD and I press
F2 it sets the default to be F? and asks the question again.
	I have gone into fdisk and set the active partition to the BSD 
patrition  and rebooted but to no avail.

	Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated
