I've installed 4.3 from the CD1 onto an Intel Tupelo MB, dual processor, with 2 18G Cheetah SCSI disks under AIC 7899 onboard chipset. Nothing fancy - just plain standard installation. (512M swap slice and 17.5G / slice on Disk 0, didn't do Disk 1 yet) Now she won't boot! I tried with the standard MBR - stops saying "missing operating system". I tried with FreeBSD Boot manager - I get: ------------------------------- F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 Default: F1 _ ------------------------------- but its dead - pressing F1 or Enter (or anything else) yields NO RESPONSE. Someone - PLEASE klobber me with the clue stick :) Patrick. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
