I've loaded FreeBSD 4.1.1-release on two machines previously, and have a third to set up. I figured I'd use the 4.1.1-release disks and cvsup up to 4.1.2 release/ The entire install runs flawlessly. At the end, it says remove floppies and reboot. And then it just sits there at the loader prompt F1 FreeBSD Default F1 and beeps, and does nothing. So I said, oops, maybe I forgot to make the main fdisk slice Bootable?? So I start the installation process over from scratch, ensure that I've set it Bootable.... reboots, and does the same thing?? Any idea what I missed? and how can one recover from this without having to spend another hour or so reloading? -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
