Hi all,

When FBSD is rebooted, it goes through the motions of rebooting, until it comes to bringing up the bootloader on the hard drive, then all there is is a black screen - basically it freezes or gets stuck where I have to physically press the on/off button to shutdown the machine, then press the button again to turn on the machine.

I dual boot with linux (slackware/lmde), with the bootloader being lilo run/setup on slackware. There is no eufi, just ordinary bios.

Does anyone know whats happening?

All the best and thank you in advance for any replies/help.

When I used FBSD & Linux, (long time ago), I allowed it to use the BSD boot loader to boot both O/S.

Don't know if that is the problem, but I never had any problems doing it that way.

Thanks for the reply and idea - I will have to look into that, I have seen something of this on the web but will need to investigate.
