Dear News group readers,
I have installed Free BSD onto my laptop's hard drive
and want it as the only OS on the machine
but after the process of installation I cannot get the system to boot.
I get the following messages at start up -
F1 Free BSD
No/boot/loader
>>Free BSD/i386 BOOT
Default:0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
No/kernel
>>Free BSD/i386 BOOT
Default:0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
The prompt responds to '?'
with . .. usr dev etc cdrom tmp
but I cannot get a response to any other prompt I try. I believe
from man pages I have read that Free BSD has actually loaded
onto the PC but I do not know how to proceed.
Any advice would be extremely appreciated - kind regards Kevin Fitzgerald.
