Hi I have a machine running Win98. I've got a 20 gig ide drive in it. I'm having difficulties getting FreeBSD booted after installing (3.3-RELEASE). I'm installing from cdrom. This is what my partitions look like: part 1: fat32 (win98 installed - 4 gig) part 2: non-dos (3.5gig) this is where I'm installing FreeBSD part 3: fat32 (12 gig) I manage to finish the installation, and then ask it to install FreeBSD's default boot manager. After this, I get my 2 options when booting, and am told to press F3 to boot FreeBSD. I hear an audible beep when pressing this, and the only key that does anything is F1 (Win98). I've tried installing os-bs and end up with the same. I've tried changing active id tag's too. I've also tried letting it modify the start id automatically upon booting. No matter what, I can't get it to boot my bsd partition :( Any suggestions? Please reply to me personally as I'm not on freebsd-questions. Thanks --Rob One Unix to rule them all, One Resolver to find them, One IP to bring them all and in the zone to bind them.
