HI, I am pretty sure this is a misconfigured partition problem but maybe someone there can help.
installing freeBSD 4.9 onto a compaq deskpro, 4 GB IDE, 192 MB RAM, previous OS is XP home ed. I dedicated a 4 GB drive to freebsd 4.9 and specified it be bootable. I also installed (at least once) the boot loader. no matter the configuration when the boot loader or the bios tries to boot freeBSD a black, blank screen appears and the system reboots. It loops like this. no problems installing from CDrom. Only problem is after the installation. I have confirmed that freeBSD files are on the hard drive and as a test I installed SUSE linux onto the same machine, no problems. any suggestions or resources to explore. i have looked over the handbooks and googled it to death. thanks very much matt _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
