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.
