I think there were some boot block problems with FreeBSD 4.1[.1]-RELEASE. without more details like can it boot if you use the diskette boot blocks and manually give the boot command (for example ad(0,a)/kernel) when it starts booting and other details as the hardware and configuration of the machine. I would highly suggest installing FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
