I just did my first ever bit of hardware hacking--salvaging a 6GB HDD from a useless computer and installing it as a slave--and went and put FreeBSD on it and a 3151MB partition on the master drive, which already had Windows 2000 Professional SP1. Here is how I chopped up the disks: ad0s1: FAT32 W2K (I have since converted to NTFS) ad0s2: /, swap, /tmp, /etc, and /var ad1s1: /usr The problem is that I can't start FreeBSD. When I get to the boot loader, I see: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk 1 Pressing <F2> starts the typical hardware listing, then I see: Manual root filesystem specification ... mountroot> And the crux of the problem is that I can't type anything because the keyboard is frozen! What can I do here? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
