Methinks it's in the bootloader. If this is a known bug or has been fixed since 5.0R, lemme know. It goes something like this: workstation contains one 120GB IDE drive. The first 60G is Win2k, the second is FreeBSD, in theory at least. Install completes successfully. When I get to the bootloader prompt and hit F2, it just beeps at me and refuses to proceed. On this same machine, if I split it 30/30/60 (win2k/BSD/empty), it boots fine. Thoughts? Any info I can send in? I'm supping the machine to 5.1B and rebuilding, but I won't be repartitioning my drive after that out of sheer lack of time. Though I -could- duplicate the partition above 60G.... -Cliff L. Biffle
