The hard ** drive is 12GB. Due ** to there being a previous installation of WIN98+NT, I was ** forced to install ** beyond cylinder 1024. After installation, the boot manager is ** unable to boot ** the FBSD partition. ** How can I boot using fbsdboot? I've tried using the kernel ** from the install ** CD, and the kernel from the installed root filesystem, but it ** complains ** about bad format (of the kernel, I'd guess). ** The root device's node is /dev/ad03a. The primary DOS ** partition's node is ** /dev/ad01a. ** ** Please help - I'm now forced to use a solution such as VMWare, ** which is less ** than optimal (to say the least :) ). ** ** Cheers, ** Alex. ** _______________________________________________________________ ** _________ ** Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
