Hi,

Iam Parthasarathi,I have 2 hard disks = in my=20 system.1st hard disk contaions 2 partions(win98 and Nt respectively),2nd = hard=20 disk contains one dos partion which is the first partion in that disk = and=20 the 2nd partion is freebsd.

I have installed FreeBSD but not able to load it.as = The=20 bootmanager is not getting loaded.I tried these options:

1.after installation, I tried the option bootinst=20 boot.bin..but that did not work it shows cannot overwrite bootsav.bin in = disk0=20 and for second drive also it shows cannot overwrite = boot2sav.bin.

2.Second option was I reinstalled freebsd and when = it asks for=20 boot manager I chose the first hard disk but in this case it did not do = anything=20 after the post test(blue screen of configuration).So I did fdisk /mbr = and then=20 activated the first partion of the first hard disk so now I can load 98 = and=20 NT(as NT loader gives that option) but how do I load = freebsd.

I thought there are two options to this either I = load boot=20 manager or there shoild be some other way that I can load freebsd when=20 need??

Pls advise soon.

Thanks and Brgds

Partha
