I install FreeBSD, there's no problem.. I get to the bootloader..=20 It says press F1 for DOS, F2 for FreeBSD.. And when I press F2, I just=20 get a beep and it wont load. Dear Charles Lefave, Surely your "/" partition is **below** the deadly (BIOS) limit of ~=20 8.4 GB ? If it lies **past** the first 8.4 GB, I am afraid you won't be able to=20 boot. You'll have to rearrange things in order to meet the=20 aforementioned BIOS "boundary value condition" :-) Best regards/cordialement, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
