First, here is my system setup. Packard Bell Legend 660 Dx4/75 (formerly sx25) 8 megs ram 540mb Western Digital Drive w/ win95 (master) 170mb Connor drive, used to have linux (slave) Ok, i downloaded the Bin, ManPages, Packages, Compat2x ,floppies, and tools directories. i want freebsd on the slave drive. Everytime i install it, the boot manager messes up on boot telling me "Error loading operating system". I read in the faq, that i had something messed for the geometries. i have tried it with 3-4 different geometries. Pfdisk, system setup, letting freebsd figure it out, and choosing "A" at the partition menu. None of them worked. So i tried using the osboot thing in the tools directory. i did it with boot.bin, but it didnt do anything when i rebooted. Id appreciate any comments on what im doing wrong. Adam Rosenthal
