Ive downloaded the latest FreeBSD-6.0 for amd64.
All MD5's passed. Hardware... CPU: Athlon64 3400+ Socket 754 Ram: 2 * 512 Kingston ValueRam DDR400 (DoubleSided) Chipset: nForce3-250 Motherboard: Asus K8N (Bios 1006.001) Partiton setup: 1: Windows - 20Gb (FAT32) 2: Linux root (XFS) 3: FreeBSD 3a: FreeBSD root 3b: FreeBSD swap 4: Linux Swap 5: boot (reiserFS) HoldsGRUB filesand Linux kernel. Attempting to boot with Grub using both of the following commands... (from grub) CODE root (hd0,2,a) kernel /boot/loader boot CODE rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 boot Both give the same result. The FreeBSD boot sceen shows, and presents several boot options including (Boot FreeBSD (default) single user, Safe mode, etc etc. and a timer counts down from 9. when it hits 0, or when i select any of the boot option numbers, the system freeses. It will not boot. the FreeBSD website said my hardware is supported, the install process went fine.. i dont know what do do ? is this a bug ? |

Managed to boot with...
Seems there must be a mistake in the FreeBSD documentation. The correct Code to boot BSD is.... CODE rootnoverify (hd0,2) makeactive chainloader +1 boot the makeactive line was missing. |
