I must admit that I am mostly a Windows user, so I choose "Auto" for the partitioning, which appears to set partitions up correctly, but I just can't seem to get it booting after install. I have read that the FreeBSD partition has to be set to active, which I did, but I keep getting the same message. Could someone help me out please? Thanks in advance.
