>machine, however FreeBSD does not boot up.

and my machine refuses to boot on dos... not that i own dos disks, but... it
just doesnt boot.

for the record, only os i've never had probs with booting _was_ linux, and
that happened few weeks ago... my pal wanted server, i thought i'll be
"nice" and install him linux so i dont have to maintain the machine, he
can get books and stuff...

well, i was stupid enough not to being able to make it work... next day i
made it freebsd 2.2-current in few hours, and it works like an angel...

*shrug*

go figure...
