I select the standard MBR on the = install screen. After it's done installing and I reboot, I get a no = operating system found error. It's like its not copying the MBR to the = bootsector. If I reinstall it and select the multi-OS boot manager, it = will load that boot manager but, when I press F1, (load FreeBSD), it = will just return me to the f prompt, like it can find the FreeBSD = kernel. However, if i put in my boot floppy and tell it to specifically = load from 0:sd(0,a)kernel, then it will load. I guess, I'm wondering if = I'm missing a step here for it to automatically load without having to = put the floppy in everytime. =20 Thanks, I appreciate your help. =20 Brett Hamlin =20 *************************************************************************= * Social Connection - The Internet's Premiere Chat Network http://www.social-connect.com ------=_NextPart_000_0018_01BD57DD.0BAE4080 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.71.1712.3"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT><FONT size=3D2>I am trying to = install=20 FreeBSD.
