2.17. I can't get past the boot manager's `F?' prompt. This is another symptom of the problem described in the preceding question. Your BIOS geometry and FreeBSD geometry settings do not agree! If your controller or BIOS supports cylinder translation (often marked as ``>1GB drive support''), try toggling its setting and reinstalling FreeBSD. This is is a totaly inadequate response. My BIOS geometry and that of the 'partition' frame coincide perfectly and I have a 200MB disk, but will the crummy thing boot? Will it hell!!! Do you people really WANT others to use this OS, or is it just for Computer Science PhD's ? Geoff Marshallhelp
