Hi, I'm fairly new to FreeBSD, but quite familiar with Linux. I have an old Pentium-I 120 MHz PC, 1.5 Gb HD, which is running Mandrake Linux 7.2 just fine. I wanted to replace the OS by FreeBSD, as my first FreeBSD experience. Installation itself via ftp goes smooth. In fdisk I dedicated the whole HD to FreeBSD, without being compatible with other OS. Then an Auto-partitioning of the single FreeBSD slice. Installed everything, went smoothly through the post-install settings and exited the Installation procedure. When the PC reboots, it just stops after the BIOS. Nothing happens, no complains, nothing. Just stops. I tried reinstalling with other fdisk options, such as partitioning with a bootloader. To no avail. Any idea what could be the problem here? Thanks, Rob. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
