I found out after about the critical error and all the posts about freebsd not working on a2 thinkpads. If i hit f1 or f12 it gives me the loading screen and nothing happens and boot diskettes i put in my floppy drive dont load prolly cause the os wont boot. How can i get rid of freebsd if the os wont boot and the screen doesnt get past the big ibm with the f1 and f12 at the bottom.Ive already tried putting in the cd for the fix cd-cvs and boot loader downloads you have on the site they didnt get recognized or prolly couldnt run cause the machine wouldnt boot. Im stumped on this one and havent gotten much help from forums so figured id directly email u. Id appreciate(and desperately need) your help. _________________________________________________________________ Persistent heartburn?
