[luau] Installing BSD on Dell P75t boxes

[al plant]

I am having trouble getting  a FreeBSD 4.5 install to boot on Dell P75t
boxes. 

It installs, but I cannot get it to boot. 

These Dell Boxes were designed for Win 98 to be used as networked cash
registers and inventory look up boxes with a small hard drive. 

Anybody have this issue with installing FreeBSD on Dell boxes? I have
successfully put 4.5 on Dell Lap tops. And this is the first problem I
have ever encountered in Installing FreeBSD on small towers.

Any Ideas?  

Someone told me they thought you had to have a small DOS Partition on
the first segment of the HD. I have never had to do this on any other
Desktops or Laptops before. 

Could the BIOS be updated on a DELL?
