I have three hard disks (one seagate, 4GB, two IBM, 515MB & = 20GB) but if I hit F1 it tells me there is an invalid partition, then on the = second keypress, I get something with this [ad1] /boot/loader/ (note: I can't remeber exactly what it looked like now, hope this is = enough info) end Daniel Camp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
