It says to take out the floppy disk and to reboot. I do that and get the error: Disk boot failure insert system disk. I asked it to install the boot manager, I set the partition active. I'm really not sure what I'm missing, I don't have any other operating system installed yet since if I have my windows NT installed I get the error 36 when trying to install Free BSD. Maybe I just need to to a install it without the boot manager? I really hope someone can point me in the right direction Thanks Garth _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
