Dear Sir: I followed your FreeBSD installation instruction. After I partitioned the hard disk for DOS and FreeBSD, I wrote the MBR (B)ootcode out to the disk and finished the initial installation process. When I reboot the system, it gives me two operating systems to boot, no matter which OS I select, it doesn't boot. I have to use MS-DOS floppy to boot the system. When I run the fdisk, it gives me the wrong total disk space. But if I go to the BIOS setup to select operating system to [DOS] and run fdisk, it gives the right total disk space. The geometry is 1416,16,63. Now the system can't boot from the hard disk. My system is Gateway 2000 DX486, total hard disk space 730MB. Could you please give me instructions to correct this problem so that I can boot either DOS or FreeBSD from the hard disk? Thank you very much for your help. Sincerely, jian
