Hello list, when I install FreeBSD alone on my computer the system is booting normally. When I install Windows 98 before and then installing FreeBSD and boot afterwards the computer, the FreeBSD-MBR offers the menue to boot the systems, but every stroke on the keyboard causes a "beep", the countdown to boot the last system is not active and only Ctrl+Alt+Del is possible. 1. Maybe I should say that I installed my FreeBSD with the option: set hw.ata.ata_dma="0" at the loader prompt, because my HDD is not understanding UDMA/33 and higher and I had to configure that manually. 2. Maybe I should say that, if I use the "standard"-MBR from Windows 98 the Windows is starting. That is the reason that I think that maybe something is wrong with the FreeBSD-MBR. Any solutions for this scenario? Bye Stevan Tiefert -- deltree /y c:\windows My suggestion to solve all your problems!
