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.

Lcd Screen
dead or stuck pixel, help! (5) Hi. 2 months ago I bought my first LCD screen, went from a 17" CRT to a 20" LCD widescreen and I
was amazed by the beauty of the image/monitor. It arrived with no dead pixels, nor stuck pixels, so
everything was literally perfect, except for the brightness, which was little to bright for my
taste, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with the nvidia control panel. So yesterday I was
playing a PC game, and then I noticed some really small spots on the screen, so I googled for a
pixel checker/fixer software. I found this one that turns your whole screen to a color of y....

months. So I reinstalled windows, well, first deleted the windows partition using the windows XP
install CD. Then assigned a partition for windows (same size) and left the ubuntu and swap partition
intact. But of course, windows deletes GRUB and replace it with their boot info, so now I can't

[trick] Installing Xp Last And Still Dual Boot
For Windows Vista (0) QUOTE This was a tough one, but I managed to prove my theory that XP can be installed last and
still added to the bootloader. It was simple to do with two cmd lines, but damn hard to find and
figure out. My first problem getting Vista off of XP (I didn't want to use VistaBootPro in
solving this puzzle) so I could add XP after the Vista install without any traces of it left from
the bootloader. I could have reinstalled XP and cleaned it up, but a little research revealed a much
quicker way with bootsect.exe. The syntax is: E:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 AL....

How To Boot A Pc From Your Usb Flashdisk
A simple, harmless technique (17) Probbably some of you have the same annoying problem. I often have to boot under DOS in order to
perform some maintenance things - re-format or re-partition hard disk, do virus diagnostics or
recover files. I love using fdisk, or McAfee viruscan in command line mode. I love typing "fdisk".
For that, MS-DOS command line is nice. Booting from a flashdisk is faster than floppies, and a
flashdisk a lots more space than a floppy. So, now, how to boot from a flashdisk without
complicating or dangerous things ? Here is the way I do it. Of course, I found the trick from

How To Change Language At Login Screen
I've been locked out! (7) I got a computer from the store that had been preinstalled with Windows XP Pro, it would
automatically log on. The default language was Arabic, and i changed it to English. Everything was
working fine until I added a password to my account. After restarting, I can't log in to the
computer because my password was in english and the default language at login is Arabic. So I did
also make another account with no password so that I could bypass the password on this account if
something was to go wrong, but I can't even log on to that one. When I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del+Del,....

How To Defrag MFT, Pagefile etc. On Boot?

just sits there on a loading screen and does bugger all...... This used to never be a problem on
