It's probably the 1024-cylinder limit. FreeBSD 4.0 can only boot your system if the kernel is in the first 1024 cylinders of the drive (i.e., if you had 'BSD and Windows switched it would work ok). 4.1 should be able to boot your kernel, though, so I suggest you get the installation disks and try to put the new boot manager on your current drive. -- Nimrod. http://www.geocities.com/rodd_27 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
