All, I have used the 5.2 released version of the iso disk 1 to install the "minimal" installation onto a 256M "thumb disk". i know the installation completed and I can mount the disk on another Freebsd machine and see that all the files seem fine. If I don't install the boot selector then the bios reports "no operating system found" If I do install the boot selector then I get the boot0 prompt "F1 FreeBSD, Default F1" (So the Bios can boot from USB...) But then I get a short beep - the LED on the Thumb drive flashes and I get no further prompts. This happens again when I hit any key. I see other questions in the archives about this but no answers (at least that I can understand). Please help
