Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 07:27:20 SGT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm a newbie of FreeBSD. I installed version 3.2 on my PC. It's PentiumIII with Asus PBF3 motherboard and Maxtor 91531U3 HD. I installed a windows98 on it before. When I installed FreeBSD, I noticed(I read the FAQ first) the CHS values is different from those in BIOS, so I use "G" to modify them(if I dont modify them, it doesn't work either), then do all things followed the instructions. No error messages appeared. But when I reboot( I installed BOOT Manager), it displayed F1: DOS, F3: FreeBSD. I choose F3, it beeps, nothing happend. I don't know what's wrong, I tried several times but failed again. I'm a windows programmer and farmiliar with PC hardware. Pls teach me how to resolve this problem and thank u very much. Need I replace a harddisk? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
