As far as I can tell, the installation went well except for the Boot Manager part. I have two hard drives in my machine- a 130 and a 406 MB. I put FreeBSD on the second Partition of the 406 drive, which is my slave. I have OS/2 on the 130, DOS on the 1st partition of the 406 and now FreeBSD on the second partition of the 406. Now when I attempt to boot my computer, I get a `Press any key to Reboot' message. I noticed when installing FreeBSD that the terminal displayed a message: Warning: Calculated sectors per cylender disagree...... Would this have anything to do with my problems? I have succesfully run Linux with the Lilo Boot manager, but FreeBSD is new (and seems better) to me. Is there anyway to get to my FreeBSD from my boot that I used to install? Any help would be great. Thanks.
