Hi

I'm trying to run both WinNT and FreeBSD 3.4 on a computer with
20GB  IDE disk.

The disk is divided into two partitions
1st: 8GB NTFS
2nd: rest FreeBSD

According to the BIOS LBA mode is enabled.

Install seems to work correctly but when I reboot the machine after insta=
ll
I get

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
F1   ???
F2   FreeBSD

Default: F2

Disk error 0x1 (lba=3D0x105093c)
No /boot/loader

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Deafault: 0:wd(0,a)/kernel
boot:
Disk  error 0x1 (lba=3D0xff16ac)
Invalid format

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Deafault: 0:wd(0,a)/kernel
boot:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D


Any suggestion on how to solve this is truely welcome
