I just completed what seemed like a successful novice install of freeBSD 2.1 release from CD-ROM except for one small problem. I have a P5-90 with 24 MB of RAM and windows 95. I have three hard drives: a Quantum 540 MB is the C drive, and two WD 1.2 GB drives, D and E. I have made a 512 MB dos partition on E and am using the rest of E as my space for freeBSD. When I re-start the computer now, the computer finds the keyboard and hard drives just fine, but then will not proceed with loading the OS unless it is from floppy. If there is no floppy, it just sits there with the floppy drive light on. Perhaps the boot manager did not get loaded properly? Any ideas, suggestions, solutions? I am at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated. Chris zing@pacificws.com
