Dear friends:
First, my thanks to all of you who responded to my problem with booting
up to FreeBSD 6. And thank you for explaining to me that the proper
forum for that is freebsd-questions. And that is what I will do from now
on. Thank you again.

Dear friends:
I decided to go out and buy the latest issue of Linux Format with the
FreeBSD 6 CD. I am very glad I did. FreeBSD is tough to install, but
after spending several hours I finally succeeded in doing a perfect
installation. ONE BIG PROBLEM: When I removed the CD and rebooted, I got

I have an old but very reliable Dell Dimension 8200 that's 6 years old.
It does not have a boot option for both of my separate hard disks. The
only BOOT options are: floppy, CD or hard drive. That's why I need the
boot manager solution.
Thank you again.

Dear Kevin:
Sounds great! Just what I need. One question before I proceed: what is
the holographic shell. Please be specific and provide step-by-step
instructions. I am a bit nervous about this kind of brain surgery.
Thank you again.

Dear Kevin:
You sure know your stuff, Kevin. No question about it. I am almost
there. The only problem is that when I boot up to the new FreeBSD system
(CD unselected and hardrive selected in boot sequence), I get a kind of
login that says:
FreeBS/i386 boot
Default: 1: ad (1,a) default
No
Dear Kevin:
By the way, I have a CD Rom drive and a DVD drive. The FreeBSD CD is in
the first CD Rom drive.

Dear Kevin:
By the way, for future reference, what boot manager should I choose next
time I install FreeBSD? Lilo? Grub? If so, where is the option for

Dear Kevin:
By the way, when I booted up, I did see and use the F1 for Windows
option and the F5 for FreeBSD (F1) along with Other (F5). So, it's
working. But its' not getting me into FreeBSD. Would appreciate your
explanation.
Thank you.

Dear Kevin:
