I am having a problem installing FreeBSD 2.0 on a Dell XPS 386 system. I
still can't get the system to boot from the hard disk even after writing
the bootcode on the drive. After I assigned the mount points in the
first part of the install and tried to re-boot the system to finish the
install, the default selection at re-boot time shows "F?" and won't let
me select FreeBSD. Is ther a problem with the bootcode or the disk
geometry, and are there any better installation instructions available
for this install?
