You should send this to questions@freebsd.org you will get quick responses from there (usually) On your boot drive you need to have / or you need to build your kernal special. my part info / 48M swap 128M /var 48M /usr allelse(1700M) one drive with a 100meg dos partition in front. FreeBSD could not get the geometry right for the drive without the 100meg dos partition because I didn't turn off stuff in my adaptec bios. (someone told me this I cannot verify) 100meg dos is a primary active partition. 1900med fbsd is bootable. booteasy was installed. works fine.
