I'm installing FreeBSD from a DOS medium. I go through all the steps in the installation (along the way selecting that the boot manager be installed). The installation finishes, saying it was successful. I do some post-install configuration and then reboot. The boot manager menu comes up with only one choice - DOS. I thought at this point I was supposed to be able to choose FreeBSD as well as DOS. Any thoughts? BTW - my configuration is as follows: Gateway 2000 486-33V (VLB) 16 MB memory EIDE compatible BIOS 3-1/2" floppy 1 GB WD IDE hard drive (none of which is being used for FBSD) 340 MB WD IDE hard drive (60 MB partioned to FBSD and mounted as "/") 210 MB WD IDE hard drive (16 MB for FBSD swap partition, rest as a FBSD partition and mounted as "/usr") Rest of 340 MB drive and Primary DOS partition of 1 GB drive mounted as "/dosd" and "/dosc", respectively IDE CD-ROM drive ATI Graphics Ultra Pro VLB w/1MB VRAM Gravis Ultrasound Digicom Systems Connection Series modem on COM3, IRQ5 -> Thayer York tyork@vt.edu
