i've got a relativly stupid question, but, we've exausted all other resources, and now i'm turning to the mass minded freebsd (ab)user community. here's the problem: we're trying to install FreeBSD 3.2 on to a compaq presario 2200. now, as expected, we're having problems with it, but nothing that we've done has so far solved them, any of them. basically, the machine refuses to boot anything remotely resembling freebsd. i suspect that it's a problem with teh Filesystem type (FFS) and what the BIOS likes and wants, but i'm not sure. we've tried just about every trick in and out of the book, and are now out of ideas. any suggestions? please, don't send me anything like "get better hardware". changing hte hardware isn't really an option. thanks much, -- jan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
