Hi, I tried FreeBSD on a 486-33MHz, 8MB RAM, 258MB HDD, but I lacked HDD for the programs I rather to install. So I´m trying to put DOS back on it, of course, deleting first the non-DOS partition and creating a new active DOS partition on the whole drive. This goes well, then reboot the PC (with the floppy inserted) and format c: with the /s switch to transfer the system files, and all is going great. But when I reboot again without the floppy the prompt puts a message like: Not a bootable partition Did FreeBSD exclusively format my HDD for itself for ever? Some ideas on this? Please help, I´m in a hurry to put to work this PC again, my boss wasn´t too much happy with the idea of FreeBSD and now HE wants DOS again.
