I have a 20g hard drive sliced into two partions (or partioned into two slices). The first slice (ad0s1) is 14.2 g and has Win98 installed and the second (ad0s2) is approx. 4.8 g with FreeBSD installed and selected as bootable. I created the second slice from an extended partion that I created when I installed this new 20g seagate hard drive. LBA mode was selected with 39102336, 512 bit sectors. The first stage of the boot process runs where I choose "F1" for dos and "F2" for FreeBSD. I select "F2" and on the second and third stages of the boot process it can't locate the bootable kernel. The following is displayed to the console: Not ufs Not ufs No Boot/Loader >> FreeBSD/i386 Boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: Not ufs No/kernel >> FreeBSD/i386 Boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: Then it waits for a command. Is there a command to tell FreeBSD what slice to boot from? Or is possibly the BIOS not configured correctly? Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks -- Mark Chmura <markch99@rcn.com> Plan - To install FreeBSD or die trying!
