next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have made about 15 FreeBSD installations !!!! The problem is : If I makes a FreeBSD installation, the PC wont boot there is no problem what so ever with the installation. But when I boot my PC. The only thing that happends is: F1 DOS F2 BSD If I choose F2, the pipesigne (|) prompts. and my PC hangs. Ok I know I know. I have already made a Installation (350 MB partition) and disabled my external BIOS on my Promise Eide 2300 controller card and the FreeBSD inst. was sucessfull. BUT when I will make a DOS partiotion of the rest of my 1275 MB disk the size of the partition only reach 105 MB. (Tot 504 MB). I have ALSO already made a small (1 MB) DOS partition then the 350 Free.. partition --->> No different. The strange thing is that if I enables the external BIOS and boot the floppy. FreeBSD can recognise all of my harddisk. Because the installation is successfull BUT I cant boot. It looks like the bootmanager can not find the bootsector of my Free... partition I only describes a few alternatives of installation I have made. --->>> And I can tell you. This problem is not possible to solve in some hardware way. I must get som software, or if someone can help me with some installations parameters. I have in principal made a Fresbee of my FreeBSD but if there is some hacker who can solve the problem I would gladely tell everone what a wonderfull world the FreeBSD world is.
