How do you do! I install FreeBsd with Windows 2000 Server in first partition on HDD. FreeBSD Boot Manager don't work properly: after boot I see prompt : F1 ?? F2 FreeBSD but pressing F2 is beep and nothing (like other keys). F1 booting Win2000. What's hapenning? Ivan. Zdrahstvooite :-) I have NOT installed Windows 2000, but I am afraid this is typical of M$oftware: probably, you have (partially) overwritten your MBR. If this is the case, in order to restore it, you should have to ... search the archives. Ok, it's Saturday and I am in a good mood. I 'll let Ruslan Ermilov explain what to do in such cases (-questions, 2/10/00 12:26:38 PM, Message ID <20000210132638.C68362@relay.ucb.crimea.ua> ): --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Help! > I've accidently ovewritten my MBR & when I try to boot, I get 'Invalid= > Partition Table'. > Booting from a floppy & running sysinstall, I can see the bsd partition > in fdisk & the various slices in the disk labler, but there are no mount > points shown for the slices (except /swap). > Is there any way I can rescue my disk? > If you *really* had an MBR installed, run `fdisk -B', this will reinitialize the boot code in sector 0 with /boot/mbr (not touching the partition table). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course, man fdisk is recommended :-) BTW, you should be able to access the online man pages.
