I recently installed FreeBSD 4.8 on a ThinkPad 600X. The install seemed to go fine, but when I reboot and I look at the menu, I have two choices - F1 DOS, F2 FreeBSD. There is nothing on the DOS partition, so I want to press F2. There isn't any response however. If I hit F1 it tries to boot the remnants of the previous OS (Win98), but if I hit F2 I get squat. Does this ring any bells for anyone? Or should I just install Windoze first (I have to dual-boot :-( ) and then try again? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. -- yours, William O'Higgins william.ohiggins@utoronto.ca
