The instalation process was pretty good but when I try to boot with FreeBSD by pressing F2, the boot manager keeps printing the following message: `F?' prompt. We then went to your home page and on the FAQs section consulted the question : "I can't get past the boot manager's `F?' prompt." We tried creating the small DOS partition, we tried using pfdisk.exe to read the geometry (which we couldn`t change by the way), we tried installing FreeBSD and then Windows, etc., so at this point, we are pretty desperate. Can you PLEASE tell us the what and how are we suppose to install FreeBSD (without killing Windows, of course)? I hope to hear from you as soon as possible. Thank you. Greetings from Guatemala, M.
