HELP!

Good suggestion -- but I had a /.

I had set up a / and put /usr in the same partition and slice.
I don't know what is wrong -- but the install seemed to go fine every time...
Anyone have any ideas?

I can insatll and everything seems to install correctly, but then when I boot,
I cannot access the system...

I can select the boot option for DOS -- but the FREEBSD option just causes 
the boot menu to be displayed again...

How do you have the partitions set up for FreeBSD?

Do you have a:  /

You should ahve

/    <---- 30M
/swap<---- whatever
/usr <---- the rest

On a recent install I had the same problem. I did not
have a / partition.

Hope that helps.

:-)
