Greetings,
I recently purchased an HP Pavillion laptop (dv8000) that has an AMD-64 CPU,
with the intent on running FreeBSD 6.0 (i386) as a dual boot option. I have
installed BSD numerous times on various desktops, but this is my first
attempt on a laptop.
When I boot off the CD, before the boot
MBR installed on ad0
FreeBSD installed on ad2 slice 2
When I try to boot using:
boot0cfg -s 2 ad2
I get an error like incompatible mode or type.
Anyone know how to fix this? fdisk does show that
slice as being FreeBSD type and I did install it
there.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks to Luke's suggestion, I'm currently attempting
to load Linux over FBSD to then attempt to mount the
NTFS drive, which may allow me to see the contents of
that drive, to either copy them elsewhere to salvage
the data, or to determine whether restoring it is
possible.

Hi, I've got a massive problem and I need urgent help,
please.
Trying to set up a dual boot, and I've rendered my
primary master (which has windows xp) un-bootable.

Hello,
Have a 5.1 install on a two HD machine. disk1 is
winXP, disk2 is FreeBSD. I couldn't get the install to
write to the MBR on disk1, so I tried booting from the
CD and at the boot prompt trying to load the kernel
from my BSD partition. Can't get it. I've read a few
things I could find on goog

I have a FreeBSD 4.1 system, which I am trying to upgrade to 4.8-RELEASE.
Unfortunately, it can't boot from the 4.8 distribution CD. When the
generic kernel boots, it hangs indefinitely after finding plip0.
I have also tried the 4.3 and 4.7 CDs, the same thing happens with them.
So some
Okay, here's my last attempt to get some useful work from an older system.
It's running 4.5-RELEASE now, which would be fine except that I'm told I
need to run a later release for the sound card driver I need.
The problem is that it looks like as I progress to later versions of
FreeBSD, the kern
nk what I originally forgot to do was set da0 active as I normally have
always just chosen A during partition setup.
This system is old and can't boot off CD, but I do have the kern, mfsroot,
