Greetings. Let me begin by describing my system. It is a 486DX4/100 with 16M RAM. There are two IDE drives -- a 1.2G primary with win95 and Linux, and a 120M slave on which I installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 The problem: When I boot my computer, OS-BS comes up as a boot menu. I select the FreeBSD partition off of that menu, and am immediately presented with the FreeBSD BOOT: prompt, just as I should be. But the problem is, if I press enter or let the 5 seconds run out, | appears, but doesn't spin, and it just hangs. I have to cold boot. Any ideas? Thanks.
