Hi,
I got FreeBSD 4.2 and I am REALLY excited about installing it, but
I have a problem.
I went through the trouble of installing it, but thinking it will work
when it reboots, the error
I get is, I think, "No MBR found."
I know there are two options, "Install FreeBSD boot manager." and
"Install a standard boot manager." But, I have tried both and it still
can't find the MBR, or kernel. I need some help, because I have been
using Red Hat Linux since 4.2 and want to use FreeBSD, but, the install
doesn't baffle me but yet, once I get the MBR thing figured out, I could
have something REALLY specatcular.
Here's one more thing. I have 2 drives. 1.2 gig and 1.0 gig.
Maybe that's another thing with the MBR, I don't know what drive or even
what directory to put them in.
Can someone give me an example of what directories to have, and how much
space for each one, like ( / - 65MB)
Regards,
Patrick
