after following the instruction on INSTALL file. i reboot the
computer, and got the following prompt:

F1 . . . FreeBSD
Default: F?

after this, regardless of what i pressed (F1, F2, F3...),
the same prompt reappeared... 
anyone knows how to continue beyond this point?

i try reinstalling freeBSD on partition 2 of Fdisk, but it does
nothing other than changing the F1 in the  prompt above to F2.

i use the old toshiba laptop T5200/100MB hard disk... 
and use all disk space for freeBSD.

anyone has this problem, and solve it yet?
