Hello, I still have boot problems. I tried to install FreeBSD 4.1 on a 10 Gig harddrive (disk 1), having Windows 98 running on a 1 Gig disk2. Installing goes OK but when I try to reboot, I get: Disk error: 0x1 (lba ....) No /boot/loader ... and after hitting enter again: Disk error: 0x1 (lba ....) No /kernel But now I discovered a strange thing: Disk 1 has a total size of 10,2 Gigabite. When I display the disk information with DOS fdisk, it shows: Partition Status Type Volume Label MB Used 1 A Non-Dos - - 9787 100% ... and then: Total Disk Space: 504 MB !!!! That is, total disk space (504) is only a fraction of MB's in used by Partition 1 (9787MB!!!). How is this possible? How to correct this situation? The problem is that I can not reformat Disk 1 from DOS as it sees only the 504 MBs? How to reformat the WHOLE disk (10,2 Gig)? Please give my any hints!!! Thanks a lot! -brt Bert Hiddink, FUNDACION GALILEO Correo electronico: hiddink@galileo.or.cr Sitio: http://www.galileo.or.cr Tel. (506) 280 8683, telefax.
