I beleive when I am setting up the drive config I screw something up. Here is a list of drives and thier configurations: C:\ is a 7 gig maxtor drive running fat32. In the FreeBSD setup, it says that there are 3 partitions on the drive: a small one... 65 bytes or so. Then there the main partition.. wd0p1 I believe. There there is a third partition which is like 6 or 7 k or so. D:\ is a 1.6 gig maxtor drive running fat32. This drive to my guess should have no involvment in the drive setup. It has 2 partions, another 65 byte one and the main one. E:\ is a 725 meg quantum drive that is completely empty, there is another 65 byte partition and then the rest I have setup for freebsd. This is somewhat of a newer machine, it is a p-233-mmx. I dont know what relavence a newer machinewould play in the install, but I want to give as much info as posible. I am trying to install freebsd onto the E:\ which seems to work. The problem I am having is that after I finish the install of freebsd and reboot my computer, I get the boot manager that comes with freebsd, the only menu option is f1 which is F1 - ??. I have no idea why it would do that. but when I hit F1, it boots up to c:\ which is win95. I set all the drives to bootable, but that is something I might me screwing up. I would be very happy if you could help me. Thanks, James Wendel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
