Preben, I am not sure if this is what is happening to you, but I have noticed that if you have a large hdd, and you have like 20GB for windows, when you install FreeBSD, it want's it's boot sector in the first 1024 cylinders I believe.... and if it does not have that it get's mad... and viola! the function keys don't work :) You need to have your boot FreeBSD partition in the first 1024 cylinders of your hard drive... Hope that this helps. -Num_LOC > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] > Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2000 11:33 PM > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: The function keys does not work when running boot manager > > I have installed Win98 on the first partition and have been trying to install FreeBSD on the second partition. But my function keys (F1 .... F12) does not work when FreeBSD's own boot manager askes me to choose a partition (F1=DOS, F2=FreeBSD). > How do I solve this problem ? > > Best regards, > Preben Hansen > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
