I have a large disk where the 1st partition is FAT (C:\, bootable), then extended (logical drives D,E,F) and then the freebsd partition. I asked for the boot manager, and I can see the F1 -DOS and F3 -freebsd dual boot prompt on the screen, but only F1 key is active and boots into Windows 98. The F3 key isn't active - beeps and does nothing. I didn't have any error messages during the installation. Can anyone help me fix that somehow? Thanks heaps for any suggestions, Victoria -- Dr. Victoria Steblina Programmer/Research Associate School of Mathematics & Statistics Australian Defence Force Academy TEL: +61 2 6268 8464 FAX: +61 2 6268 8886 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
