The install menu doesn't have anything on it, none of the functions work. Same drives work okay and show up on DOS and OS/2 fdisk. I have 2 ~200 Mb FAT slices (first one bootable) and OS/2 boot manager on the first drive and one 350 Mb FAT & 120 MB HPFS (bootable) on the second, rest of it is free space where i planned to install FreeBSD. I didn't find anything about problems like this in the FAQ either... i'm totally lost. I expected that the problems would show up later than this in the installation process :). Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.
