I made sure to make the partition a FreeBSD partition and all that good stuff...it installed fine, i didn't go through and install a bunch of the extra stuff yet, just wanted to get the basic system on my computer tonight....everything looked like it was goin great..dialed the internet fine during the install...then i got a couple errors something about fork somethin...i dont remember..it was during configuring tcl if i remember right...anyway so I decided to reboot and then just hit the sack..when i rebooted, it loaded up the bootmanager program, F1 for DOS, F2 for FreeBSD F1 was the default, so I hit F2 to boot up FreeBSD...and all it did was Beep..no matter what i hit all it did was Beep..so i had to boot up in windows and cant seem to get FreeBSD to boot :( If you have any ideas what i did wrong or how i can fix this please let me know..the errors i had while configuring tcl are no big deal, i'll deal with that later....not being able to boot up FreeBSD isn't too cool though..and i've tried reinstalling it a couple times also...well..thanks for your time :) Dex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
