Hi,
I recently picked up a copy of freebsd 4.0 to try out. I went about
trying to install it on my Pentium 166. I wanted to make the system a dual
boot win95 and freebsd system, with windows on the first drive and freebsd
on the second.
The install seemed to go well, the program said that if I was running a
dual boot system there would be an option to install a bootmanager later as
part of the post install configuration. There was no option to do this and
although the installation seemed to go well I cannot boot into freebsd.
I looked on the install cd and it had a small program called
'bootinst.exe' that could fix this kind of problem. However when I ran it
produced the following error 'unable to write boot.bin'. There was a second
boot manager on the cd called 'osbs' but it could only see my windows disk....
Can somebody please help me with this problem....
Cheers
Grev:)
