Date: Tue, 5 Oct 1999 21:45:23 -0500 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG To Whom It May Concern: I am having problems getting FreeBSD 3.2 to boot. I am able to install it just fine but when I try to boot to FreeBSD it will not go. I get to the Boot Manager and it gives me the options of: F1 - DOS and F5 - Disk 1. I press F5 and the boot manager comes up again. So I press F5 again and the boot manager comes up a third time. When I press F5 a third time an error comes up saying "Invalid System Disk. Please insert a system disk and press any key to continue." At this point the only option that I have is to cold boot my machine. If at anytime during the boot manager options I press F1 it boots up into Win98. I have tried multiple times to get this to work and can not. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be most appreciated. My system Configuration consists of the following: 1) AMD Athlon 500MHz CPU 2) MSI 6167 Motherboard (EV6 200MHz bus) 3) Adaptec AHA-2940UW 4) Three Quantum UW SCSI HD 5) Plextor UltraPlex Ultra-SCSI CD-ROM 6) Diamond SpeedStar A50 display 7) STB BlackMagic3D Voodoo2 8) SoundBlaster Live! Value 9) 128 MB PC-100 memory 10) 3Com Etherlink III Bus-Master NIC 11) Zoom 56Kflex Modem I hope this helps.
