Namely: 1. Are you dualbooting? 2. If so, what OS's? 3. If not, why did you install the boot mgr instead of a standard MBR? 4. Did this boot at one time then stop working? 5. Did you try pressing F1? if so, what happened? Try to think about what someone who reads your question will ask and answer it before you hit the SEND button :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
