Hello, I installed FreeBSD as the second partition on my laptop, then installed OSBS Beta as reccomended by several FreeBSD users on IRC. However, when I select FreeBSD in OSBS, it says No Operating System and won't let me boot. When I used FreeBSD's boot manager, whenever I pressed F2 it just hung. Is it because my FreeBSD partition starts above cylinder 1024 of the hard drive? Win98 is 11GB and then FreeBSD comes after that with 2GB ... Anyone have any suggestions as to how I should set this up? I need both partitions as one contiguous block if possible, and I know Windows has to be the first partition on the drive. Any secrets I'm missing? Many thanks, Paul -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Paul D.
