I installed (or I think I did) FreeBSD 2.1 from the cdrom, on a second SCSI hard drive. OS2's boot manager (along with DOS/WIN 3.1) was on the first SCSI hd. In any case the installation was a breeze--very clear info on what to do next etc. I chose the option not to make any changes to the MBR, and not to install boot manager. Now when I attempt to boot (after the options to use setup, to use the SCSI utility, and to do something with the GSI 11 floppy controller), the next message (in big letters) is NO ROM BASIC, SYSTEM HALTED. It boots fine from a floppy, but of course the boot manager doesn't come up. Would anyone know what "no rom basic" means and how I can fix this? Thanks very much-- Annelise
