Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello - I would be grateful for some help. I have tried and failed to install FreeBSD, but I am now having the following problems: (1) When I boot-up the PC it gives the following message F1 ??? F2 ??? F3 BSD It then trys to boot into BSD. HOW DO I REMOVE THIS MESSAGE? (2) I can not access fdisk (dos). When I run fdisk it loads, but when I try to view disk details or delete, create a Pri Partition it stops! I am unable to remove the ext. partition. What I would like to do is remove all disk partitions and re-format the whole hard drive so I have a fresh start (dos format). Any advice would be gratefully received. email jdj-uk@usa.net J D Jones - UK ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
