Before you saw the reboot in 15 seconds line, there would have been some sort of (error) message. Please save or copy down the information that appears on the screen before the system reboots, and any other information that displays that might have some bearing on the failure to boot. Also, what version of FreeBSD are you attempting to install? Are your HDDs IDE or SCSI? Did you install the boot manager? Where (physically) on the hard disk did you install the FreeBSD partition? > > Thanks for your time. > > Thomas Goins > > > _______________________________________________________ > Are you a Techie?
