thanks, I set it before, it's useless . I reinstalled a version 4.0 release from FTP, and I set the item again, it still didn't work. As I know, I needn't set the bootable flag if I use Boot Manager, right? ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Jeff Koncz" <jeff.koncz@directionsmag.com> To: "Terry Moore" <skysailing@hotmail.com> Subject: RE: I cannot boot(may I ask this question?) Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 15:48:31 -0800 Terry, Here's one thing you can check. Boot back into the FreeBSD install program (from cd or floppy). Select "Configure" -> "Fdisk". Now make sure that your FreeBSD partition has been set to be bootable (Command "S" from the Fdisk menu). If it isn't, set it, then write the changes (Command "W"), exit out of sysinstall and reboot.

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 ______________________________________________________ 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
