I'm sure that nobody addressed the failure to install 'cause nobody
knows what's going on . . .
If you bought a supported version (MandrakeSoft o Macmillan) it's the
sort of question you can get support for, FWIW.
I, personally, like FBSD, except that it's almost always behind my
hardware a bit, and now that I'm use more standard hardware (assuming
FBSD has ide-scsi support), I'm using vmware which runs only under
Linux (or NT), so I've pretty much given up on the idea of going back
"home" to BSD.
