> Description:
I want to install Freebsd 6.2 on one of my old boxes (an old Celeron 1.2 Ghz). \
however when I try to boot up from the Installer CD to install the software. I ended \
up to this prompt:

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                      eg. ufs:da0s1a
  ?                 List valid disk boot devices
  <empty line> Abort Manual Input

mountroot>

tried doing the suggestions from this thread:
