Sometimes FBSDs bootmanager shows up but hangs before I can input to wich OS to boot. I have both Windows 98 SE and FBSD 4.3 cvsuped a few weeks ago. My HD is a maxtor, 20G with an UDMA66 controler (reason why I have to set at the bios a) to boot from int 86 - the network, and b) not to detect any IDE HDs) I've tryed setting the HD to IDE by disconnecting it from the controler and connecting it directly to the MB with no changes regarding the boot problem. Hope someone can help me. JF To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
