So I installed FreeBSD to be duaql boot with WinME; WinME is on disk 1, a 30G drive, FreeBSD on 2, another 30G drive. All went well in install, but when I boot, I have problems. When I get to the promtp for loading an OS, I have the choices of F1 for the OS on the drive, GF5 to change drives. F5 works fine, but when I choose F1, the system freezes. To make it odder, if the default is to load an OS, if I wait without pressing F1, it .will. load the OS. Sadly, it has a habit of changing the default from F1 to F5, at which point I cannot load anything; I have to pop in my Install CD and make it boot the drive. How can I fix this? I would like the menu to work, but I would likely settle for making a floppy for FreeBSD that I can just pop in when I want to boot FreeBSD. Ideas?
