I've been trying to install freebsd on my Dell Inspiron 7500 notebook, =
and it all goes fine until I reboot to boot into the installed FreeBSD =
OS.=20

F1:  Windows
F2:  FreeBSD

Default: F1

I press F1, I goto windows, no problem.  Press nothing, goes to default, =
F1, windows, no problem.  Press F2, it beeps.  I've reinstalled 3 times, =
no luck yet.  I fdisk /mbr  and reinstalled, and made the fbsd partition =
bootable during install, still no luck.  Any help or usefull resources =
would be very much appreciated. =20
