I posted this before, now I'm getting desperate for help. If anyone knows what to do please help!!!! we've installed freebsd. We rebooted the system and the boot manager appeared, prompting us to F1 for ??? (which turned out is what it meant as win98) F2 for FreeBSD We hit f2, and the manager just repeats its window. It does this always, and as of yet we've not been able to get to a BSD prompt at all, or to get it to even begin booting fbsd. We've tried using the installation software to rewrite the boot manager, but it doesn't change anything. I'm completely stumped. Do we need to reinstall FreeBSD? Could it be that the error was because we made a second dos partition with the boot manager also? We deleted the second dos partition to try and fix the problem, but nothing changes.
