Hello; I have Installed FreeBSD 4.4 on my Presario 2800 Notebook. In the second partition of the 20GB Hard disc. It was alright and the loader worked well, until I decided to install Red Hat 9.0 Linux on the third partition. Since I wanted to experience FreeBSD loader and it seemed very intelligent to me I didn't install grub during Linux installation. Since my Notebook has a swap Floppy drive and I was installing Linux from CDRom I couldn't make any installation disk. After finishing Linux installation successfully I rebooted the system in order to test the boot loader. FreeBSD loader has detected the Linux partition well and lists it as the third option (F3). But pressing F3 leads to nothing but a beep from the system. I tried to search the web and read mans to find a solution but I couldn't find anything useful. Can any body help me please? Please mail me at: falaki@ce.sharif.edu Mohammad H. Falaki
