[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi freebsd-questions:-) i am trying to install freeBSD 4.6 for the first time. after completing the installation and rebooting the computer the following message appears and the computer hangs. F1 FreeBSD Default: F1 - hitting F1 or enter does not start the loading process. what could be the cause of the problem? it is not a dualboot, but i have tried using both the boot mgr and standard MBR with the same effect. i have also tried installing the whole distribution and a minimal distribution also with no change. thanks in advance 4 the help marc:-) [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>Hi freebsd-questions:-) i am trying to install freeBSD 4.6 for the first time. after completing the installation and rebooting the computer the following message appears and the computer hangs.<BR><BR>F1 FreeBSD<BR>Default: F1<BR>-<BR><BR>hitting F1 or enter does not start the loading process.<BR>what could be the cause of the problem?</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>it is not a dualboot, but i have tried using both the boot mgr and standard MBR with the same effect. i have also tried installing the whole distribution and a minimal distribution also with no change. </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT size=2><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>thanks in advance 4 the help </DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT><BR>marc:-)</DIV> <DIV></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT size=2> </DIV></FONT> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV></BODY></HTML>help
