Help  I am trying to install free bsd
on my computer but have run into some problems.
I get everything installed ok except I cant
seem to get the partition info right.
it either comes up and does nothing, 
or, it says no operating system or
if I choose to use the boot manager, it
pops up and does nothing.  in the installation,
what should the setting for the bootable partition be?

thanks I A
