This is a GA-586ATE/p motherboard with the triton chipset. The hard drive is an ATA-2 Seagate 32140A (medalist). Before the install lilo would boot the LINUX partition fine. Before I installed freebsd, I performed fdisk /mbr under M$-DOZE and verified that the system boots MSDOS fine. Then I deleted the LINUX partitions and verified that they were deleted. After all this preliminaries. I proceeded to install FreeBSD from the WALNUT CREEK cdrom. I chose to install booteasy on the MBR and used FREEBSD fdisk. Now the problem is after the install booteasy will not boot the freebsd partition. I am stumped. Never had any problem with booteasy before. What did I do wrong, any suggestions? While I am at it, does anybody know if someone is working on a MV-Jazz 16 sound card driver for FreeBSD?
