FreeBSD Installation problems

Thanks for your reply!
We've already successfully installed on another machine using this disk.
That would have been one of the first things I'd try, except for the fact that I need to run v6.2 
Could you clarify this point a little? I'm not quite sure what I should be looking for.
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.

try latest bsd - 7.0 on the first machine.

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

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

ppmtopgm
ppmtopgm(1) General Commands Manual ppmtopgm(1) NAME
ppmtopgm - convert a portable pixmap into a portable graymap SYNOPSIS
ppmtopgm [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a portable graymap as output. The output is a "black and white" rendering of the original image, as in a black and white photograph. The quantization formula used is .299 r + .587 g + .114 b. Note that although there is a pgmtoppm program, it is not necessary for simple conversions from pgm to ppm , because any ppm program can read pgm (and pbm ) files automatically. pgmtoppm is for colorizing a pgm file. Also, see ppmtorgb3 for a different way of converting color to gray. And ppmdist generates a grayscale image from a color image, but in a way that makes it easy to differentiate the original colors, not necessarily a way that looks like a black and white photograph. QUOTE
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colors from our sight Red is gray, and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is a quantization error. SEE ALSO
