<snip> > Andy> Anyone any ideas? > > Did you say "YES" to install the boot manager when you were installing > FreeBSD? Yes, tried this option, it appear to install the boot manager onto the /dev/ad1 ide sec drive. When rebooting this never got a lookin so boots straight into Windows with no options. So I then forced the boot manager to install onto /dev/ad0. I then, on reboot, get three options:- F1: Windows F2: FreeBSD F5: Drive 1 F1 loads Windows, F2 just beeps and loads nothing and F5 worked. However on next reboot comes up "Boot error" and the loader is gone and I need to either a) reinstall boot manager or b) install everything again (real pain). Any more ideas?
