This issue has come up many many times in this mailing list over the past few weeks. Please scan thru the archives. After the install, you probably have a laptop that does not boot up, at all. Seems to be a dead hard disk. It is not. Move the disk to another machine (not a T20, obviously), and change the partition-id to linux. Your laptop will be usable again (of course, you will then have to install some operating system on it before you can really use it, but it is usable). Again, see the archives of this mailing list for further details. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
