I also have Debian on my computer (using lilo) and Debian boots fine. Here is what happens when I try and boot FreeBSD (4.3) : BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 BIOS 634kB/392112kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 (root@elmo, Wed May 30 13:54:38 BST 2001) - nothing happens after this, it just sits there. I made a boot disk from the fixit.flp floppy image on my FreeBSD CD, and can boot FreeBSD using that. I've tried using sysinstall to 'reinstall' FreeBSD's bootloader - I tried installing both the standard MBR and FreeBSD's bootmanager, but they both halt at the same place said above. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
