Hello Everyone, Thanks in advanced for helping me. I am doing a new install of FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE My computer is a Dell PowerEdge 400sc I have 2 hard drives installed in the computer: 1 80GB IDE hard drive and 1 200 GB SATA hard drive I can install FreeBSD on the IDE drive (detected as ad0) fine and have no problems. The issue arises after the install when I try to fdisk and Label the SATA drive (detected as ad4). I want to use the SATA drive as a depot of sorts to hold all my media. I use sysinstall after the installation to slice and label the drive. After I do this and reboot FreeBSD will not boot properly. I usually get just a blinking cursor where the boot loader should be or an invalid partition error. I have tried installing with a boot loader, without a boot loader, I have verified I am slicing and labeling the correct disk. I'm kind of at my wits end. I have reloaded about 10 times trying various ideas. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? Thanks for any help given. Devin Miller _____ avast!
