The installation process seems to work properly. The filesystems all appear to have been written to my hard disk and i recieve a message confirming that my installation has been successfully completed, yet upon rebooting the system the boot manager cannot find the proper boot image. it recognizes the freeBSD partition, but says that it cannot find any operating system. if anyone could offer some advice it would be much appriciated. btw, if it's any help, i have installed freeBSD to coexist with a Linux distribution (SuSE). perhaps this is the root of the problem? at any rate, any help would be much appriciated. thanks, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
