[-- Attachment #1 --] I have just completed installation of freeBSD 3.1 from cdrom, but i cannot seem to convince my computer that freeBSD exists on the harddrive. Please help. I have one Seagate 34520A on controller zero which has a FAT, EXTENDED, and FREEBSD partition. I believe that the freeBSD partition is named wd0s3, because I can actually MOUNT that partition when using cdrom2 as a 'live file system'. Anyway .... When the system first starts up, I get the "boot:" prompt. I type in "0:wd(x,a)? [where x is any number from 0 to 9]" and I get the error "not ufs." I have also replaced the 'a" with values up to and including "f" lane [-- 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 5.00.2014.210" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have just completed installation of freeBSD 3.1 from cdrom, but i cannot seem to convince my computer that freeBSD exists on the harddrive.
