I get a menu that says hit F1 for FreeBSD, or F5 for Drive 0. If I hit F1, it just beeps at me, if I hit F5, it pops up the menu again except this time saying Drive 1 instead of 0. It will go back and forth like that if I keep hitting F5, but F1 just beeps at me. I was having problems installing on it, and tried to use Normal for the boot menu, but just got No operating system after rebooting or Invalid partition. The machine is using 2 scsi controllers, 1 is an onboard Adaptec and the other is a Advansys pci adapter. The drive on the pci card has /, swap, /tmp, /var, and /usr on it and the drive on the onboard is just /home. I can install fine if I unhook one of the drives, but with both I can't seem to get it to work. If you figure it out or have any ideas I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know. -Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
