I have been having problems properly installing FreeBSD on my system. Since I'm a new-comer to UNIX, please excuse any dumb questions. My configuration is as follows: EIDE Controller WD Hard Drive (1.2 GB) - WD0 Conner Hard Drive (518 MB) - WD1 I'm installing FreeBSD onto WD1. I have created a partition for all of WD1 and created three slices on this partition: / - 20MB /usr - 458MB swap - 40MB Each time I run install, it recognizes the partition on WD1, but it doesn't see a root slice installed on it. When I select label, it sees 3 slices but it doesn't see the mountpoints for root (/) and user (/usr). I've installed with the BootMgr, and when I reboot my system and select the BSD drive, I'll get the Boot prompt. At this point, if I try to do anything, the system will hang. I've tried entering a "?" to get a list of files, but get the same result. What am I doing wrong?
