I am switching one of my linux boxes to run freebsd so I can compare them side by side. I got done selecting the packages and formating the hard drive and I went to set up the ppp connection,but it wasn't working properly. so I aborted the installation and now my bios says there is an error on my hard drive and freezes up my whole system. Did I do something wrong to cause this? My bios is a version of amiwinbios if that helps any. its a 3.2 gig drive so I'll be a little pissed if its hosed. -- Todd McCoy Purdue University School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
