I have two questions: (1) I run fsck with no argument whatsoever as root and the screen becomes blank and the machine freezes. Why is this happening? (2) Suppose I want to boot into windows 98 after using FreeBSD, I have to watch for the correct time to press F1. Is there a way I can modify the active partition to windows98 when running FreeBSD so that it boots into windows automatically after I type reboot? I am using booteasy. Any help is appreciated. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
