In an attempt to install FreeBSD I wrote /boot/boot0 on the harddrive which already has Windows on it plus free space. Commands 'fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 /dev/ad4' output ended with these messages: Should we write new partition table? [n] y fdisk: Class not found After this when I boot from this HD it displays the usual: F1 Win F2 F3 F4 FreeBSD ... But when I press any button it just prints the character '#' and does nothing. If I don't type anything '#' characters appear by itself after some time and again nothing happens. I suspect that fdisk message 'Class not found' is related. What should I do to make FreeBSD boot manager to work? Yuri
