Hello,
There may be a problem with the geometry of your disk, as seen from the=
FreeBSD bootloader.
You may want to check that the geometry reported by your BIOS (as Cylin=
ders/Heads/Sectors) matches the one used when installing FreeBSD (as se=
en from the "fdisk" screen of the install procedure). If there is a mis=
match, the boot process may want to load
the kernel with a number of cylinder larger than 1024, and this is not =
supported by the BIOS.

Dear support team,
boot is only possible from first partition (F1).
Any other partiton you try to boot from makes the bootloader beep.
It is possible to boot from a second disk.
Materiel involved:
- FreeBSD 3.4
- Asus K7M (BIOS: Amibios Easy Setup Utilities 1.17) / Gigabyte 7IX
- Athlon 600/500
We stated the same problem for freeBSD 3.2 and 3.3.
How to make to be able to boot from a second partition on the same disk=
? (Bootloader is installed)
Many thanks for help in advance
Yours
Fran=E7ois Randin
