If so, go to your BIOS and remove it while running FreeBSD, or type at the startup boot: sd(0,a)/kernel check /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.[asci,htm]: 2. Installing FreeBSD [...] 4. With the installation disk in the A: drive, reboot your computer. You should get a boot prompt something like this: >> FreeBSD BOOT ... Usage: [[[0:][wd](0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdhrsv] Use 1:sd(0,a)kernel to boot sd0 if it is BIOS drive 1 Use ? for file list or press Enter for defaults Boot: If you do not type anything, FreeBSD will automatically boot with its default configuration after a delay of about five seconds. As FreeBSD boots, it probes your computer to determine what hardware is installed. The results of this probing is displayed on the screen. -- Greeting, Andy running FreeBSD-current ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
