--OXfL5xGRrasGEqWY Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hello all. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.3 (using the mini-installation ISO) on my new HP/Compaq stationary. It has to Serial-ATA harddrives, and I want one for FreeBSD and one for Windows. I installed FreeBSD along with BootMgr, but it does not want to boot. It just makes silly beeps. I am given two choices, F1 for FreeBSD and F4 for Drive1. More recently, I attempted to install Windows XP on this Drive1. It removed my MBR, but in turn it successfully booted Windows. So I reinstalled FreeBSD, but now whenever I select FreeBSD it just reboots my computer. When I select Drive1, it loads some kind of MAC addressing scheme by HP and then freezes. Personally, I'm helpless. Virtually, I'm humble. Thanks. -- j. --OXfL5xGRrasGEqWY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBxdjCeF7Rq67IV2wRAhH/AJ9GAdJdLg97NsIpafSwjSrXiDm8JwCgssDx i3PO8z1fRIANZh6c71iiSB8= =pZFv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OXfL5xGRrasGEqWY--
