Your system is probably trying to boot from adifferent drive than FreeBSD was installed to, or FreeBSD never wrote to the MBR. Try having the FreeBSD installer rewrite the boot record (and perhaps the partition table), and check BIOS to make sure that it is booting the right device. That isn't a FreeBSD bug because the computer never actually executes a single instruction of BSD code. >From: "Pete Stapley" <pstapley@rapidnet.com> >To: <questions@freebsd.org> >Subject: Missing Operating System >Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 18:48:10 -0600 > >I just installed 4.2 from FTP and when I reboot I get and error, "missing >operating system".
