The capacities of two hard drives are 275MB and 540MB respectively. I am trying to install FreeBSD in the last 80MB of my first disk and on all of the second one. My root partition is 60MB on first disk. I have two swap partitions of 20MB each on both first and second one. I have a 'usr' partition of 520MB. The sysinstall program on the boot floppy copied the MBR, boot manager and the startup kernel to my hard disk. when I tried to boot up from my hard disk, the machine hangs after I select the UNIX from the boot manager. I have previosuly FreeBSD1.1 loaded on my second disk and was working fine. I have wiped out everything and started fresh for FreeBSD2.0 Please, advise me If I did anything wrong or how to solve this problem. I appreciate your help
