The system has been installed on the first partition, on a 4GB slices (<1023 cylinders). I have used the FreeBSD boot loder and GRUB to boot the system, without success. I am only able to boot the Install Disc. For information, I have already installed FreeBSD 4.4 and 4.5 on 2 different machines, without any trouble. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
