--4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hello. I'm running a HP Compaq DC7100 with two S-ATA harddrives. It's a bit difficult for me to say what goes wrong, because I'm not told. I've installed FreeBSD, and when I turn on the computer it passes on to the bootloader part. This is where, when I select F1 for FreeBSD (F5 is Drive1 and used to run Windows, but after the FreeBSD MBR alteration it will not boot either), the computer *simply* reboots. If I use the standard MBR and not the bootloader, it will just continue to try to load FreeBSD and then reboot in an infinite loop. I've tried seeking answers on questions@freebsd.org, on IRC and on Google. But nobody seems to be familiar with newer hardware. I've tried messing around in my BIOS setup, playing with most of the available options but to no good. I've tried setting the FreeBSD harddrive partition to bootable, as well as resetted the MBR with fdisk. My superiors, what could i do to *fix* this? Thanks, Johann -- j. --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFByVnteF7Rq67IV2wRAmd1AKDQAxlpkdYKPDQKDaZA1cPFHXZDOgCgxlfF TLR0CNdtTKMkMLRt8L3/DPQ= =R7TM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY--
