Hi, I have a 20gb harddisk with 3 primary partitions: 1st: DOS 2nd: Freebsd 3rd: reserved for linux and an extended partition(which contains my windows files) Before installing linux.. I can see this at freebsd boot manager menu F1:DOS F3:Freebsd After installing linux and lilo.. F1:DOS F2:Freebsd(F3 before) F4:linux I have successfully edited the boot.ini of windows and be able to boot into it, same as with linux but.. when I press F2 to boot into my freebsd.. it stops in the middle of device detection process and it shows Manual root filesystem specification <fstype>:<device> mountroot> I tried typing ufs:/dev/ad0s1a but it still won't boot.. What I did was to delete entire the linux installation and the partition aloted to it so now I can only see this at boot time: F1:DOS F2:Freebsd Any idea what happened? Do you know what should I type in the mountroot> prompt? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. http://messenger.yahoo.com/
