Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk My objective is to dedicate the slave srive to FreeBSD and use the Boot Manager to choose between OSs. Installation of files seems to proceed without a hitch. However, upon reboot there is an "ERROR LOADING OS" message. I have been performing the installation from a DOS partition (primary drive) using the Walnut Creek CDROM. ??? Instead of utilizing a boot manager, is there a way to boot FreeBSD off of a floppy? ANy comments/suggestions/solutions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Carl Koster ckoster@ix.netcom.com
