Eivind Eklund was right. :) I had a old system with a ide drive too big for any bios geometry settings.. Not installing the compatability boot block or whatever they are called and making the drive totally dedicated to freebsd made the thing boot!. Thanks guys, all the ideas brought me closer. Another thing that worked, but limited the size of my root partition was making the root partition smaller than the bios harddrive size that was set.. Since its a laptop and only has 520 megs I wanted only a / slice to get better use of my space.. Marko
