The Bios of the Interjet was never tested or compiled with Microsoft in
mind. it is specifically tailored to boot FreeBSD with some special
hacks to support the LCD on COM2 (or was that com1?)
it is a 133MHz (or was that 233?) MHz chip for crying out aloud.
why on EARTH would you wnat to run windows on it?
(not to mention that it only has 32 MB of ram.)

You cannot get access to the exisiting FreeBSD because it is hacked too
much. The binaries are altered to use a database for many things FreeBSd
uses flat files for.

but the following should work for you:

install the drive on a regular PC.
install FreeBSD 4.6 from scratch.
Set it to have a console on COM1
reinstall it on the machine
log in on the serial port..
You should now have a standard FreeBSD machine with serial console
COM2 at (hmm I forget the exact baud rate) should print to the LCD.
