Do i have to do any speciall thing during installation,
will you help please?
I dunt know what loader u ment, just the default one?
The boot loader is the piece of code that knows where you're OS is. If
you didn't install it then your system likely just halts because
whatever there is doesn't know how to boot.
Some options:
You can boot off the install cd and instead of installing specify root
device etc. This should enable you to boot up your newly installed
system. If that succeeds you can try to reinstall the boot loader - see
the handbook and bsdlabel man-page.
You can try to get something up running and install a generic boot
loader like grub. This should also be possible if you succeed to boot as
described above but can't get the boot loader working.
Cheers, Erik
