-----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Mark Todd Sent: Saturday, May 27, 2000 11:36 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Installation Problem I am trying to install FreeBSD to run along side Windows NT. The installation program appears to run without any problems, then informs me that it will reboot the computer. When the system comes on-line the below message is displayed. I am unable to find what to do next and would appreciate any help. >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: No /kernel >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: Possibly relevant system information: IDE1 Primary: 6.8GB Maxtor HDD IDE1 Secondary: None IDE2 Primary: Mitsumi CR4801 IDE2 Secondary: Panasonic 40x CD-ROM Drive Processor: Cyrix MII-300 Memory: 128MB PC-100 Video Card: STB 128 (4MB) The HDD drive contains three partitions: the first is an NTFS partition, the second is an extended partition(containing 4 partitions) and the third is the FreeBSD partition. Sounds like you probably have the root partition of FreeBSD past the 1024th cylinder of the hard drive. If you boot from a floppy and then mount the hard drive and run fdisk it will tell you for sure. The FAQ has some info about this for you. www.freebsd.org/FAQ/install.html This is a pretty common question on the list, too. I don't follow this thread too closely so there may be other issues as well, but I bet the archives are full of useful info as well.
