X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.02 [en]C-DIAL (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Problem with reboot after installing. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been having MANY problems with freebsd. The last set I recieved, I had trouble with getting x-windows to run. I gave up. I'd forgotten to cancel my subscription and have recieved 2.2.7, which is even worse from what I can tell. Firstly, after the install program runs, on reboot it reports it cannot mount the drive, wd2, on the second partition, where I instructed the install program to put the bsd system. I go back into the install program, to find that no root was put on the disk, nor any other files sytsem, except for the swap! Only the swap remains intact! All I had to do to make the second drive bootable with windows, was copy the system files to that drive and in setup, make that the bootdrive. It took 30 seconds. It takes 10 minutes for me to install windows from a cd. I don't see 50.00's worth of advancements here, from any linux system. None of them will install a windowing OS. Per the chace I do get this thing to work without x-windows, how do you change from one drive to another? -- Shea F. Kenny 910 4th.
