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" >To: >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".
