My name is Senee Patimasup, living in Thailand. I'm very new to FreeBSD (i've just installed it for the first time yesterday). The installation was easy and smooth (thanks for this). Anyway, i got a problem which i couldn't solve it myself, so i will be very appreciated if you kindly help me. I have 3 harddrives in my computer with 'System Commander' program to switch between OSes. I installed FreeBSD into the primiry slave harddrive. The installation was successful and i was successfully logged into FreeBSD environment. The problem is that 'everytime i shutdown FreeBSD and restart, my primary master partition will set into INACTIVE one and i cannot boot the machine. To make the partition active again, I have to set it with fdisk everytime which is quite tedious. Note that i've tried all installation choice to handle MBR... I've tested 'Booteasy', 'General', and 'None' but all bring the same result. (cannot bootup after shutdown FreeBSD). Do you have any clue or suggestion for the problem?
