I installed FreeBSD 3.2. When I boot my machine.. the boot loader comes up, but it beeps when I = hit 'F2' to boot FBSD. It will only let me hit 'F1' to boot to my FAT32 = partition. Some one told me the following: "This is almost certainly due to a mismatch between the disk geometry your BIOS is using, and what FreeBSD thought the geometry was when it was installed." How should I fix this?=20 Thanks -Michael webmaster@tenebrous.com ------=_NextPart_000_001E_01BEDE67.6DBDB6E0 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 4.72.3110.7"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Hello..</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I installed FreeBSD = 3.2.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>When I boot my machine.. the boot = loader comes=20 up, but it beeps when I hit 'F2' to boot FBSD.
