Bug 16801

I am facing problems in installing FreeBSD which came with a book
which I purchased. 

The problems are,

1. I was not able to boot from the CD

2. I created floppy which contained the Boot image, the installation
   started of smoothly, but when the installation program tried to
   access the CD-ROM drive it said the version was incorrect - "Do you
   want to continue" I said OK continue. After that it stopped with an
   error saying that some files were not found and came out of the
   installation process.

3. I created a DOS partion of 2GB which had DOS 6.22 OS on that
   partition. From there by accessing the CD-ROM drive I tried to
   xcopy program and dump the contents of the CD on the DOS partition
   but the copy failed inbetween while it was trying to copy some
   files from the CD-ROM\AIX\ folder which had some characters like
   "++-" etc.., then I ran the SETUP program to copy the required
   files on to the DOS partition.

4. From the DOS partion I started the install.bat program, while
   partitioning I configured another 2GB for FreeBSD nad wile
   configuring filesystems I alloted 600MB for "/" , 600MB for "/usr",
   600MB for "/var" and the rest for "swap"

5. The copying of files and all went on smoothly and after all the
   copying is over is came back to the same menu where I selected the
   type of installation i.e, Novice from where I selected to "Exit
   Install"

6. But after all this too when the machine rebooted it asked for the
   default boot "DOS or BSD" i.e, F1 or F2, I selected F2 to boot
   through BSD but it was not happening it was again and again asking
   me to press F1 or F2 when I press F1 machine boots through DOS.


Note: 

1. I made the FreeBSD partition "Set Bootable" while creating
   partitions - Still the same problem.

2. I tried with "LBA" and "Normal" settings for the Harddisk in the
   CMOS setup - Still the same problem prevails.

Can you give me suggestions and ideas of how I could solve this problem.
