This list is for discussion of FreeBSD documentation issues.  General
technical questions about FreeBSD should go to
freebsd-questions at freebsd.org.

(BTW, it's not clear to me exactly what OS you're trying to install.
You mentioned "BSD 2.8" but there is no such thing FreeBSD 2.8.  Maybe
you mean a differnet version or OS?)

Good luck!

Bruce.
