I'm a FreeBSD 'newbie' so please bear with me. I am installing FreeBSD on a 486SX machine with an IDE drive (903 cyls, 8 heads, 46 S/T). After installing only the /bin distribution and rebooting the system, I am getting the message: F1...BSD Default: F? Can't find file boot.config I read the help menu in the Boot Manager area, but I'm not sure this is related to the BIOS geometry. The manufacturer had written documentation explaining the hard drives attributes. Could I have done something wrong during the installation process?
