	We need to know a few more details. First, what version of FreeBSD did you
install? If it's not 4.1-Release, you should be installing that one. We've
fixed a number of bugs, including the one that's probably affecting you.
Second, what size is your hard drive? Finally, which did you install first?
If you installed freebsd first, windows probably blew away something that
freebsd needs to boot, so chances are if that's the case reinstalling
freebsd (4.1 :) should fix you right up.

	If this doesn't work, please feel free to write back to the list with more
details.

Good luck,

Doug
