I am currently trying to install FBSD 2.2.2 on a Hitachi c-120 laptop. I 
chose to make this a un*x only machine, so there is no DOS partition to 
confuse the issue.  
The install went fine - no problems with the ethernet card or detecting 
any internals. However, when I went to reboot I got the message 'read 
error' along with a very unfriendly blinking cursor. It doesn't seem to 
want to read the drive after reboot.

Any suggestions from the laptop crowd?

Thanks in advance,

Michael
