This is a one hard drive system, and it is a single boot system. I can't say what the exact message is, because I replaced the "broken" FreeBSD with Debian (which was what was on it before) until I figure out what is going wrong, but it wasn't far from "unable to load kernel, trying kernel.old... unable to load kernel.old" and then it went to the "ok" prompt of what I am assuming to be the bootloader that FreeBSD put on.

Are you able to post the exact message you get? Does your installation span more than one disk? Is this a dual-boot machine? Is there anything at all unusual about your setup? -- Saint Aardvark the Carpeted aardvark@saintaardvarkthecarpeted.com Because the plural of Anecdote is Myth.
