[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm getting an error when I try to boot into FreeBSD 4.0. I loaded the OS with no problems. I loaded the Standard bootmanager, and did an auto-config for partitioning my hard drive. After installation, the computer restarted and went into bsd with no problems. The next time I restarted, and now every time I try to boot up, here's what happens: (goes through initial boot process fine, memory test, device listing....) Updating DMI Pool Data ..................Update Success Not ufs Not ufs No /boot/loader >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: Not ufs No /kernel >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: And the curser flashes there. Help!! I can't get it to boot! I've tried reinstalling it totally, and it does the same thing. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks! -Steve [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm getting an error when I try to boot into FreeBSD 4.0.
