Hi, I'm having trouble booting my FreeBSD after upgrading my harddrive. I've recently installed a 17,3Gb Fujitsu harddrive in my computer. To be able to boot multiple operating systems, I've used the boot manager that comes with FreeBSD. Booting Win98 works fine, but when I try to boot the FreeBSD partition is just stops. My partitions are configures like this: Partition 1 : FAT32 size 7.06Gb Partition 2 : FAT32 size 8.12Gb Partition 3 : FreeBSD size 2.12Gb I've tried several thing, and I found out that if I removed my second partition containing FAT32, and partitioned a FreeBSD slice like this: Partition 1 : FAT32 size 7.06Gb Partition 2 : FreeBSD size 2.12Gb Partition 3 : FAT32 size 8.12Gb then the FreeBSD slice would boot as normal. Could it be the fact that the boot manager can't reach partitions that are located above 8Gb on the harddrive. I would appreciate any kind of feedback on this issue Best regards Anders G.
