[-- Attachment #1 --] I am sure you have heard this a million times but.... when I installed freebsd 3.x from the 3rd edition of "the complete freeBSD" book the installer told me that it couldn't format root and it was quitting, it said it left an error log. when I boot up my system ( with all compliant hardware) I get to the boot manager's boot: prompt and it says I have 1 option f1 for free bsd, yet when I try to boot typing in freeBSD or pressing f1, it says no /boot/loader yet I installed the boot loader on installation, ( I even reinstalled to be sure). I really want to set up free bsd and play with it so I would appreciate some help in this matter. if you need more specifics please email me back. I have a 4 gb Maxtor and a p2 300 with and Intel 440 bx mobo all the hardware worked fine with redhat 6.0 and 7.0 thank you very much for your time Collin Greene [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am sure you have heard this a million times but.... when I installed freebsd 3.x from the 3rd edition of "the complete freeBSD" book the installer told me that it couldn't format root and it was quitting, it said it left an error log. when I boot up my system ( with all compliant hardware) I get to the boot manager's boot: prompt and it says I have 1 option f1 for free bsd, yet when I try to boot typing in freeBSD or pressing f1, it says no /boot/loader yet I installed the boot loader on installation, ( I even reinstalled to be sure).
