Manda" To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Multiple OS installation !! Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am completelt new to Unix installation ... Currently I have Windows 98 on a 20 GB computer. So I thought of installing Free BSD and partitioned the system into 14GB/6GB ... (14 for windows) ... For this I had to allocate around 1800 cylinders for windows. Then I installed Free BSD on the second partition. But I cannot boot unix from the boot manager.. It simply refuses to boot no matter how many times I press F2. On the other hand Windows 98 (F1) is working fine .... It would be noce if some-one can explain the reason and a solution to this problem. Please elaborate your explanation as I am not very familiar with the terminology and procedures. Thanks in advance, Hemanth Manda. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
