I installed FBSD, sort of.  I posted this before, now I'm getting
desperate for help.  If anyone knows what to do please help!!!!

we've installed freebsd.  We rebooted the system and the boot manager
appeared, prompting us to
F1 for ??? (which turned out is what it meant as win98)
F2 for FreeBSD

We hit f2, and the manager just repeats its window.  It does this
always, and as of yet we've not been able to get to a BSD prompt at all,

or to get it to even begin booting fbsd.  We've tried using the
installation software to rewrite the boot manager, but it doesn't change

anything.  I'm completely stumped.  Do we need to reinstall FreeBSD?
Could it be that the error was because we made a second dos partition
with the boot manager also?  We deleted the second dos partition to try
and fix the problem, but nothing changes.  What do I do now?

It's just another point of view, ooo.
A state of mind I'm going through, yes.
So what I see is never true, ahhh.
