When installing 'FreeBSD 4.0 according to chapter 5 of the Complete FreeBSD , on rebooting my screen reads as follows: F1 FreeBSD Default: F1 No /boot/loader >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: No /kernel >>FreeBSD/i386 Boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot:_ I've repeatedly checked that the disk geometry and translation mode is correct in the bios and that the correct geometry is reflected in the Fdisk utility and that the BSD slice is set bootable. Yet at reboot the same screen always appears. I'm attempting to install on a P60 with 24mb RAM and a 420mb IDE h/d. I beleive the the BSD kernel version is 3.1. Any assistance that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. R.Mason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
