Installing FreeBSD 5.1 - Boot manager doesnt install itself

2003-09-15 Thread y . patil
I have two disks on my machine - the first has WinNT while the second had linux. I 
used Lilo 
to select which OS I wanted to boot. 

Replacing linux, I installed FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on the second disk. In spite of 
selecting 
the Boot manager for installation, it still doesn't seem to install itself. I still 
see the Lilo menu at 
boot time. 

When selecting the boot manager option during installation, I am asked on which disk 
the 
operation should be performed on, and it selects ad1 (the second disk) by default. 
Using ad1 
as the default suggested choice results in no boot manager prompt after install 
completes. If I 
select ad0 instead, I get an error message saying only one fat allowed as a child of 
whole. 

Whats the problem here? Thanks in advance

If you want to use FreeBSD's boot loader, install it on both disks.
