I've changed the BIOS configuration so that it allows me to use a 80GB disk. Fine. Installation complains a bit about the way BIOS determines the disk geometry and then suggests its own settings. OK, I go for it. I use the whole disk, create respective mount points, install standard boot loader, a desired distribution along with additional packages, configure X server and other things and then reboot. And they I get that "Non-system disk or disk error" message. Is there any way I can boot normaly into the fresh FreeBSD installation? -- -=Robert & Beata Golovniov | Lviv, Ukraine=- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mailto:golovniov@interia.pl?subject=PGP%20Key&Body=Embedded%20key ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
