I've looked all over the mailing list for this one. I have a 10MB dos partition and a FreeBSD 3.1 partition. After the install is complete I get this upon bootup: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 Both F1 & F2 "beep" and don't actually do anything. Hitting F5 brings me to: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD And now, things work normal. F1 boots DOS, F2 boots FreeBSD. I'd be happy with this, except for the first menu is defaulted to what I selected in my second menu, so it will never boot without user input off the first menu. I've tried fdisk /mbr in dos, then reboot with the FreeBSD floppies and (W) write the partition table, and selecting to install the Boot Manager, no luck. I've also tried reinstalling, and the problem is still there. Thanks for any input on this one, Geoff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
