try latest bsd - 7.0 on the first machine.

That would have been one of the first things I'd try, except for the fact that I need to run v6.2

try looking at BIOS options at boot time, something could have gone wrong.

Could you clarify this point a little? I'm not quite sure what I should be looking for.

Last question - is this going to be server ? Because if it's intended for GUI with KDE for example, you can try PCBSD - PC-BSD - Home - it's a clone of FreeBSD 6.2

It's confusing - basically we're trying to get our heads round FreeBSD 6.2 so that we can take over maintenance of a server that is using it. So although we won't actually be using it as a true server, we need to be able to pretend it is so that we can work our way round the server (basically something to test on without messing up the real thing).
I'll keep this in mind but I'd really be more comfortable using the actual FreeBSD 6.2 as then we know software is the same across the board when it comes to trying new things.
