Date: Wed, 17 Jan 1996 21:25:33 GMT Organization: Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia Lines: 23 Message-ID: <4djpkc$cn8@solaris.cc.vt.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: rschutt.async.vt.edu X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Recently I tried to install System Commander 2.24 so I didn't have to boot FreeBSD from a floppy all the time. System Commander detected my Win95 partition and BSD partition correctly, or so it seemed. Win95 boots up ok, but when I try FreeBSD, it says 'No bootable partition'. Here is my drive info: Drive 1: Partition 1: Win95/DOS C: (696 MB) Drive 2: Partition 1: DOS D: (300 MB) Partition 2: FreeBSD 2.0.5 (396 MB) Before, I was booting FreeBSD by using the boot floppy, and entering 'wd(1,a)/kernel' at the Boot: prompt. When I try this, I get the same error message, 'No bootable partition'. Is there any way at all I can get back to FreeBSD??? Thanks, Ryan
