Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Problem with FreeBSD 8.3. BIOS affected Post 302844364 by prabux on Monday 19th of August 2013 05:23:28 AM

At start it offers: "F1- FreeBSD, F2- Windows ". If I press F2, it hangs forever. If I press F1 it boots normally and CDROM can be seen, when mounted. Boot sequence I can change, but CDROM cant be seen initialy and no boot comes from it.
What can I do?

More generally asking: Can BIOS be updated from within Unix? Is there such a practice?
