Hi, newbie to freeBSD here...
version tried: 4.1 and 4.1.1
HDD : primary IDE
- master 13GB
- secondary 2.1GB
- both used for windows
- both have LBA support from BIOS
secondary IDE
- master: 1.7 GB
- dont have LBA support, only CHS
- but freeBSD installation detected CHS correctly
- used entirely for a freeBSD slice
- I've / and /boot as "a" and "e" paritions so
I assumed that they are < 1024 cyc
boot manager
- choosen to install boot manager in both
primary master and the freebsd drive.
problem: I got past the F1:/F5: prompt, BUT
end up with "1FA:" prompt that fails to boot freeBSD
(pressing any key displays the prompt once more)
no problem booting to windows. (I installed windows first,
then freebsd)
any ideas?
thanks in advance.
