Now it won't boot at all, the whole file system has been screwed it seems. I'm attempting to install 4.1-Release. My system is detailed below. Anyone got any ideas what could cause this error, how I could fix it, or where I should ask for more help? Thanks, Mark System spec: Biostar M7MIA motherboard, using AMD761 north bridge and VIA 686B south bridge 128MB Crucial 2.5CAS DDR PC2100 memory AMD Duron 750MHz CPU IBM Deskstar 6.5GB ATA33 Hard Disk Drive (partitioned as 4.5GB FAT32 Win2K, rest FreeBSD) SMC 1211TX-WL 10/100 WOL PCI NIC ATI Radeon VE 32MB DDR Graphics 12x ARTEC DVDROM 3.5" floppy drive, 1.44MB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
