Hi, 
I was given a Gateway 2000 Colorbook, with FreeBSD, the guy that gave it to 
me does not remember the root password. I have the FreeBSD Ver.3.2. When I 
tried to use Partition Magic it said the drive is read only. I tried the 
installation disks I made for BSD. Is there a way I can reload a new os on 
this hard drive. I am stumped. Though that happens quite often.
