What is the wrong message? Windows is first on the disk and FreeBSD is second right? Did you install FreeBSD before the first 1024 cylinders? Run fdisk in DOS or in FreeBSD with no arguments to see. I'm assuming you installed the FreeBSD bootloader. If you can no longer get into Windows you will need to boot from a DOS boot disk and run fdisk /mbr. This will allow you back into Windows. You can use your CD-ROM to get into FreeBSD. Hopefully we can fix the problem so you can dual boot. As far as what to install. Choose developer with X and all the sources. There is a Java package for FreeBSD but it is 1.1.8. There is a beta port for 1.2.2 out now. I have used the 1.1.8 package with alot of success, but I am still working on installing the 1.2 beta. C and C++ compilers and tools will be in with everything else. Ian As told by, tatkhu@aol.com > HI, Mr Thomas. > I figure out how to begin my instalation in DOS.
