Hello,
I've just installed FreeBSD 4 on a computer that's set up as follows:
hdd 1 - Win98, Win2000, Linux-Mandrake 7.1
hdd 2 - Win2000 Server (evaluation), FreeBSD 4
This is the first time I've tried FreeBSD and I'm a bit confused as to how
to boot the system. I chose not to install a boot manager during setup to
avoid losing my nt bootloader which I've sucessfully setup to boot
everything else. I assumed at some point there would be the option to
create a boot floppy, but I didn't notice that step. Did I miss something?
At this point, I'm not able to boot into FBSD and I'm hoping that I will be
able to create some kind of boot disk without reinstalling. If I can get
into the system, I can run dd to create a boot file for the nt loader, but
until then, I'm stumped.
Thanks for any advice, Mike
