For some reason, every time I boot into FreeBSD (dual booting with =
windows98), the next time I reboot, I get "Not found any [active =
partition] on hard drive". I have to boot with a dos diskette and run =
fdisk to manually reset the active partition. Any one know WHAT the heck =
is doing this and how to fix it?=20

Thanks
