I need help on installation
I found an old pc that I just reformatted the HDD using G parted, now that I try to boot from a Free BSD CD (7.2 release) the Intel chip gives me an error message that the system boot failed and asks me to insert a system disk which I do not have, how do I go about that because I virtually cannot install any operating system. Do I have to install a boot loader like GRUB2? If so How do I go about that? Since I have found no iso image of GRUB2 to burn into a live cd. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Do I have to install a boot loader like GRUB2? - actually this shouldn't be necessary since the 1st FBSD CD is bootable Oliver ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
