I've installed about 6 times now, always error free, except it won't boot, from ISO and from ftp.de.freebsd.org. When I choose no boot manager, "invalid partition table". When I choose boot manager, I get the F1 F2 F3 menu, but hitting F1 (or any F) just beeps, doesn't boot. I've bounced back and forth between no boot mgr/boot manager, hoping rewriting the partition table would work, plus I've changed partition sizes a few times. This disk was booting FreeBSD 3.4 just fine in a compaq 466, now retired. Len To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
