I installed 4.0-RELEASE on an old 486 laptop. It installs very fine, using the network card. I't only FreeBSD on the machine. When installation was finished the machine refuses to find a boot sector. It says: "Read error" Nothing more. It would be nice not to try the install again, but to fix the boot sector. Any suggestions. Can I run picobsd and in some way access the disk? Any help would do! Please cc me since I don't follow the list at the moment. -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
