earlier, I keep getting the below-mentioned loop. How do I just reformat
the disk? Also, concerning BIOS, not the problem, since I successfully
installed earlier.

If you want to re-format the drive, download a CD image from the drive
manufacturer's website. Most manufacturer's have bootable CD images that
include utilities to test and format their drives.

Tony,Â
Â
You don't mention what version you installing.Â
Â
Be sure your BIOS is not set to not allow boot sector writes. Some BIOS
have this set to thwart boot sector viruses.Â
Â
A few things you can try:Â
You can boot FreeDOS and run booteasy from the tools folder on the FreeBSD
install CD to install the boot-manager.Â
Boot the FreeBSD install CD and use the emergency shell to check the hard
drive for the correct creation of the folders and kernel.Â
Â
If all else fails you can reformat and start over.Â
