Hi
I have a machine running Win98. I've got a 20 gig ide drive in it. I'm
having difficulties getting FreeBSD booted after installing (3.3-RELEASE).
I'm installing from cdrom. This is what my partitions look like:
dos fdisk output:
Partition Status Type Vol label Mbytes System
c: 1 PRI DOS WIN98 4001 FAT32
2 A Non-DOS 3561
3 EXT DOS 12002
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logical DOS Drive Information
Drv Vol Label Mbytes System Usage
d: 12002 FAT32 100%
A
I manage to finish the installation, and then ask it to install FreeBSD's
default boot manager. After this, I get my 2 options when booting, and am
told to press F3 to boot FreeBSD. I hear an audible beep when pressing
this, and the only key that does anything is F1 (Win98).
I've tried installing os-bs and end up with the same. I've tried changing
active id tag's too. I've also tried letting it modify the start id
automatically upon booting.
No matter what, I can't get it to boot my bsd partition :(
Any help appreciated
Regards
--Rob
