I have FreeBSD 2.2.7.  Today I tried to install it on my hard disk.  Everything went normal until I wanted to reboot.  Then, the bootmanager did not allow me to choose F2 for BSD.  So I tried it without the bootmanager.  And I got the message 'System fails to reboot', or something like that.  

I had some problems with my Hard Disk earlier (maxtor 6.0 GB).  I had not been able to partition it until I got Partition magic 4.0.  Even Fdisk didn't work.  So, is it possible that this is the problem, and how do I solve this?

I got some help from somebody who had already installed FreeBSD, so, I think I did everything right.  

I hope you can help me,...

Thank you...
