Hello..

I installed FreeBSD = 3.2.

When I boot my machine.. the boot = loader comes=20 up, but it beeps when I hit 'F2' to boot FBSD. It will only let me hit = 'F1' to=20 boot to my FAT32 partition. Some one told me the = following:

"This is almost certainly due = to a mismatch=20 between the disk geometry
your BIOS is using, and what FreeBSD = thought the=20 geometry was when it
was installed."

How should I fix this?

Thanks

-Michael
