Hackers and others, Last night I completed what was supposedly a "successful installation of FreeBSD 2.1 on my 2nd SCSI disk. I selected the option to create the boot manager (I made the boot floppy and installed from CD ROM as recommended in the doc). When the installation was complete and I rebooted the machine (removing the boot floppy from the A: drive first) I got the message: Operating system not found For some reason I see the message "DOS space > 1 gig" before the system tries to boot but I don't think this is the real problem. I'm also not exactly sure how to change this since I didn't see any obvious options in the auto-scsi menu. The system: Micron millenia plus 150MHz pentium 16MB RAM Buslogic 946c SCSI card 2 1-Gig Connor 1085S drives, the 2nd dedicated to FreeBSD 6X Plextor CD ROM SoundBlaster 32 AWE sound card Diamond Stealth 64 w/2M VRAM 17" Nokia monitor I had to use the -c option to make the boot floppy kernel look for my SCSI card because it was at IO port address 0x334 instead of the 0x330 that it expects. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. At this point I'm not sure if I need to re-install Windows 95 and DOS or not. I set up all of the filesystems on sd1 so the Windows disk shouldn't have been overwritten. Thanks in advance. Jeff Henning
