I have a seagate 3.2GB and install a data manager to be able to recognized my whole hard disk and I create one partition(220 MB). I boot and it's ok. Seagate data manager first appear then the dos booting session. I installed the FreeBSD and create two slice partition. One partition has a 250MB for / and another partition which shares /usr /swap. I was able to installed nicely w/o any problem. Upon booting, Seagate manager appears followed by the boot easy of FreeBSD, I press F1 for dos and were able to boot successfully. Tried to boot again and press F2 for FreeBSD. It says "not ufs" and hang up. Meaning, I can not boot to FreeBSD. Could you tell me were did I go wrong? > >> 1. How can I configure the dialup.
