Hello I am new to FreeBSD and I was hoping to learn the foundations of it by using a study guide. Today i tried installing FreeBSD.
I succesfully installed it and tried it next to my other operating system and it worked; I then decided to reinstall FreeBSD as the only operating system and used the A option for all partitioning during setup.
Something went wrong during the installation, and when I chose to install by memorystick (I think this was when it happened) I got an error message and decided not to continue with the installation but instead start over with the installation again. This did not work and my computer no longer boots my memorystick or previous OS installations.
It says:
When I try to install FreeBSD by using the memorystick like I did the first time the computer tells me to remove the external device and then restarts and the same invalid partition message appears
.
So my question is what I did wrong and how to fix it?
