Thanks for the quick responses. I booted freebsd from the cdrom and ran fdisk. I am still not totally comfortable with the disk naming convention, but I gathered from the output of fdisk that s4 == slice 4 == hda4. I entered that into lilo.conf, ran lilo, and freebsd booted fine. However, Linux fdisk/cfdisk are still broken. Any idea why this might be? During install I read some of the FreeBSD docs that said that you could specify whether freebsd should keep the partition table readable by other OSs or to take it over and do things that would make it unreadable by others. I never saw this option during the install, but it sounds like it might be related to my program. Is there some kind of make "make bios partition table accurate" option to freebsd fdisk? I don't think I did anything wrong during the install. I picked standard installation, picked some interesting looking extra packages to install, and followed all the instructions. There's gotta be some way to fix this. Nick Urban To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
