Hi. I am attempting to install FreeBSD 2.2 960501-SNAP on an Intel-clone 80486 DX2-66. I have three physical Drives, which for various reasons have five DOS partitions on them. The slave physical Drive on the primary EIDE controller has enough unallocated space for a 650M Free-BSD partition. I am performing the installation from the primary DOS partition on the master physical Drive on the primary EIDE controller. This appears to work fine, but I do not have FreeBSD on floppy or CD. I am installing FreeBSD onto the second physical drive, so I use the "C" option during the "create-partition" phaze. Everything appears to function correctly. I request that the installation procedure install your FreeBSD boot manager. When installation is complete, and the reboot occurs, the boot manager fires up as I would expect. Option "F1" is listed to boot DOS which does in fact work properly. However, *no* option appears to boot FreeBSD from the non-DOS partition on the second physical drive. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Mike Lewis <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> < But let your communication be < > < Yea, yea; nay, nay: for whatsoever < maq@epaibm.rtpnc.epa.gov > < is more than these cometh of evil. < maq@nccibm1.bitnet > < -- Matthew 101:100101 < > <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
