I installed FreeBSD 2.1.7 using my own local network. I installed FreeBSD on a new empty disk. I started to install and after reboot I couldn't kick in to FreeBSD. Normally you see: F1 BSD F2 etc. But this time I saw: F? BSD I tried to use not the entire disk for FreeBSD but all thing failed. So I tried for the last time to make a partition of 30 MB for DOS and the next for FreeBSD. And from that time Boot Easy works. Is this normall behavior ?? Create first another non FreeBSD partition and then a FreeBSD partition ?? If Yes, this is a big mistake in Boot Easy. Wouter
