I've a situation here. First is about the CMOS setup. I'm using ALR OPTIMA 100mhz pentium, uses BIOS V.20, and I have 6.5 gig harddisk. Inside CMOS setup, it shows only 156MB and it C/H/S is 1`3446/15/63 respectively. I couldn't access to manual C/H/S setup due to system constraint. Anyhow, after initializing from CMOS, the screen shows correct disk capacity, ie 6204 MB. As such, I didn't bother what had happened in CMOS setup. I continued to install FreeBSD 3.0.1. Everything seemed OK without major problems - I made mistake here and there ,but still managed to fix after several attempts. I made an selection on MBR -easyboot, so that I can select among DOS and slackware. After rebooting, a lists of options came out. F1 LInux, F2 FreeBSD, F3 DOS. FYI, none of those work. It is because of the recoginition of C/H/S in CMOS which cannot provide correct C/H/S information to boot loader(not very sure about this termilogy)? or it is due to some other things that I missed out ? Would somebody kindly give me some ideas, and suggestions on how to fix it. Thanks in advance.
