Hello All After installing and configureing FreeBSD 4.6, I installed RedHat. The install went fine, and I kept the BSD bootloader. Now, everytime I go into sysinstall/fdisk and set the root partition for linux to be bootable, write it to the mbr, then write the bootloader, it doesn't stick, meaning that when I reboot, F2 (Linux) just beeps when I press it, and when I boot into F1 (FreeBSD) and run fdisk again, the bootable flag on the Linux partition is missing. It doesn't seem to 'stick' when I make it bootable. Any idea what's going on here? I could install LILO or grub and get around this but I'd rather use the FreeBSD bootloader.
