I just installed FreeBSD on my system, to try it out, but I can't get it to start. I installed it into the partition ("slice") that Linux calls /dev/hdc3, a 674 Mbyte partition. This contains a 64 Mbyte swap area (I have 64 Mbyte RAM), and the rest as the root partition (I prefer to have it all in one file system). But, I can't get it to boot. Since my computer already carry DR-DOS/Win3, OS/2, Win95 and Linux, using IBM BootManager, I didn't install FreeBSD's BootManager, but instead added the partition to the IBM BootManager. My problem now is that if I try to select the FreeBSD partition from the Boot Manager, all I get is this: Can't find file boot.config Can't find file boot.help [...] Boot default: 1:wd(1,a)kernel boot: and if I press Enter, it says Can't find kernel I'm at a loss what to do here, I haven't seen anything like this with any of the other OSes I've installed. Any help is appreciated! -- \\// Peter - http://nafmo.home.ml.org/ - ICQ UIN 762719 HTML is *not* a good idea in e-mail or news messages To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
