I have managed to install FreeBSD 5.0-DP1 onto the system, however it fails to boot. Last time it just beeped at me and did nothing, this was solved by fixing the drive geometry with a win98 boot disk. Now the problem is that it seems to not be finding the kernel or /boot device or / partition. Error message is as follows: Disk error 0x1 (lba=0x45e080) No /boot/loader |> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: No /kernel - ------ could this be a large block assignment problem where a lowlevel format could be necessary? other than that, im out of ideas. a fellow from italy approached me stating he has a similar machine and looks like he as well is having similar problems (but managed to get 4.9 on there). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
