I installed FreeBSD 4.0-release on Dell Inspiron 5000 portable.  I have
two questions:

(1) I run fsck with no argument whatsoever as root and the screen becomes
blank and the machine freezes.  Why is this happening?

(2) Suppose I want to boot into windows 98 after using FreeBSD, I have to
watch for the correct time to press F1.  Is there a way I can modify the
active partition to windows98 when running FreeBSD so that it boots into
windows automatically after I type reboot?  I am using booteasy.

Any help is appreciated.
