Can someone provide a solution to my fsbd installation problem...I can't get it to boot afetr installation. My system: +AMD486-120MHz +Two IDE drives (installing fbsd on slave drive) +EIDE controller card (manufactured by SIIG with on-board BIOS) I am installting from a DOS partition. My distribution came from Walnut Creek on CD. My goal is to dedicate the slave drive to fbsd and use a boot disk to get into fbsd. Installation of the files proceeds without a hitch. When I reebot using the fbsd boot disk I type wd(1,a)/kernal at the prompt and the system just hangs. It doesn't seem to try to access the slave drive. I have verified drive geometry and it looks the same in fbsd and BIOS. What can I do? Any comments/suggestions/solution will be greatly appreciated. ckoster@ix.netcom.com
