I don't have problems installing the OS at home, but the hardware configuration in the office is very different. The installation pushes through successfully, but after restarting the machine, I end up with an error message saying, Read Error The only way I could get FreeBSD to boot is via the installation disk and typing, sd()kernel This will start the FreeBSD kernel on my SCSI hard disk. The following illustrates the hardware in the office: HP Vectra VE Series 2 5/75 upgraded to Pentium-133 Mhz 56 MB SIMM RAM Adaptec AHA-2940AU SCSI Controller Seagate ST3100N SCSI Hard Disk (SCSI ID: 0) Seagate ST32151N SCSI Hard Disk (SCSI ID: 1) Cirrus Logic 5436 with 2MB RAM Video TEAC 24x IDE CDROM Drive I am installing FreeBSD on the ST3100N SCSI Hard Disk. The ST32151N has Windows 98 installed on it. The current bootable hard drive is SCSI ID: 0 (ST31200N) I have also tried eliminating the second hard disk (ST32151N) to avoid any conflicting operating systems. Please help. Could it be the geometry setting of the hard disk during the installation of FreeBSD? Thank you.
