To whom it may concern:

I am writing on behalf of my 11 year old nephew who installed the
FreeBSD on his IBM computer this week. Apparently, it crashed his
computer and he no longer has a C drive. Please help me assist him in
resolving this problem. He is enrolled in Scottsdale Community College
and is quite a whiz kid with the computer. Unfortunately, due to time
contraints and the pressure of his advanced schooling, he is unable to
find a solution to this problem on his own.

He has advised me that when  he hits the enter key, he gets a response
which says "can't find front flash kernel" this is with and without the
boot disk. Also, this message comes up at the boot prompt : Freebsd boot
@0X10000:639/31744K

Please advise if you are familiar with these responses. Thanking you in
advance for your assistance.

Regards,

Carolyn
