When i start up my BSD isntallation normally (use BSD's boot manager),
it gives me the Boot: prompt. When i don't type anything and let the
defaults have at it, it says "dosdev=80, biosdrive=0, unit=0, maj=0"
"Can't find /kernel". Or, when I type "?" to get a file list and it
displays one, whenever i try to type it in, i get the message "Invalid
Format!" The only thing that seems to work is my FreeBSD install disk.
When it loads from there, and i let the defaults go, it shows
"0:fd(0,a)/kernel @ 0x27a000". I have no idea what this all means. I
have a DOS partition, also, if that makes a difference. I am very new at
this UNIX/FreeBSD thing. So, if you need more info or if you can help
me, PLEASE e-mail me at codemaster@emails.com. Thank you so much in
advance! {:-D
