I've been trying to get FreeBSD to run on my Toshiba Satellite (m45 359). I tried a couple of times with version 6.0 and the install went fine, but the computer doesn't seem to recognize the drive as being bootable. (So I experimented with a couple different options: standard boot manager, bsd boot manager, setting the partition (yes, it's a primary) to bootable, even erasing the whole drive and allocating it to FreeBSD. Regardless of what I've tried, the boot sequence doesn't see a hardrive and skips it. Also tried 5.4, but that freezes on booting the install cd (probably just need to disable acpi) but I really don't want 5.4 anyways. Currently I'm writing this from ubuntu dapper (as a test) - install went smooth and grub loaded with no problem but I'd really prefer to get back to bsd. Thanks for anyway help or feedback. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
