My machine already has Windows-NT, DOS, Linux installed on it. I tried to install FreeBSD at the last primary partition which is 1.4Gig. Everthing went soomthly except when I reboot the machine and let system commander to choose the partion labeled as BSD to boot from, I got the "read error" message and the system hangs. My question is: (1) Does the order of installation affect the co-existence of these OSs? (2) Do we have to put FreeBSD at the front of the disk? The machine has Award V4.51 PG modular BIOS. I am using PM 3.02. When I installed FreeBSD, I choose "leave the MBR intact". Thanks for any suggestion. -------------------------------------------------- | Zhihui Zhang, http://cs.binghamton.edu/~zzhang | | Dept. of Computer Science, SUNY at Binghamton | -------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
