Yeah right! :( This is the third time I have installed FreeBSD and the Third time that it has refused to boot or even be recognized. I have FreeBSD 2.2.2 on CD-ROM (I received the suggestion to make sure that my CD-ROM was plugged in the an actual controller and not the sound card. It worked my CD-ROM is recognized.) and I am trying to install it on a DEC 545 wide SCSI HD. I go through the pertition excercise and then the lable doohicky. I set up the partitions and give everything names. Then the program asks what I want to install. I give it what I want and it goes through it's hoops and finally I get to the configuration for XFree86. Now, I should mention that this is the farthest I have ever gotten so I was a bit excited. I was actually able to install some of the ports and packages. After everything is said and done and it tells me to reboot, the system boots into Win95. I attempt to look for the FreeBSD partition and I am not able to find it. I try using OS-BS boot manager and I am only able to see the Win95 partition. Please, I beg all the kind spirits in the land of UN*X... Please explain to me what I have done wrong and what I can do to appease the UN*X daemon!! Thanks in advance, Vincent Rodriguez "Wanabee UN*X expert..."
