Unhappy problem with the startup
I have installed free bsd, and it won't reboot on it.
I got win on disk 1 and on disk 2 is free bsd.
Is there an optoin tha do so u could choose betwen win or free bsd?
Is there an option in the installation that maybe I have missed?

Yeah, it sounds like you might have missed the bootloader...

It can be kind of scary for people who are installing a dual-boot system to overwrite their boot-sector / MBR with something else...

Did you create the boot floppy when it asked you to, or did you skip that?

I skipped it.
But is that the problem, or is it something in the installation that I have forgott.

Well, if you didn't install a program to boot your computer into BSD, and you don't have a boot floppy, that will definitely be your problem...

Can you do a "rescue boot" from the installation CD? If, get in there, and create a darn boot disk!

Sorry, I can't offer more specifics, but I am not very familiar with FreeBSD installations procedures...

<a href="http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html">FreeBSD.org</a> has a great documentation set online, though. Have fun!
