try this command at the boot: prompt, (it will list of the file(s) if any in your root partition). boot: wd(0,a)? see if you see a 'kernel', or 'kernel.GENERIC', It sounds to me as if you selected 'skip kernel configuration' before you installed. You should be able to boot kernel.GENERIC, and make yourself a new kernel. Try this command if kernel.GENERIC shows up: boot: wd(0,a)kernel.GENERIC MrK1nt@aol.com wrote: > I recently installed FreeBSD 4.0 on my system at home which is also running win95.
