Hi guys, I'm having an Issue installing FreeBSD onto an external 37G hard drive. I use this hard drive to test all OS's I'm interested in trying out b4 before I use them properly. Up until now I have been a bit of a Linux head and now want to try something new (and maybe go through a conversion). So I do apologies that I am a FreeBSD virgin.
The FreeBSD installed perfectly on my VMware (which I use just to check how the installation works not to try out the OS) but when I try to install on my external drive it goes through the installer, restarts, and as soon as I boot into external drive I get a mountroot> prompt which I don't know how to do anything with. I have tried a few google search results to try and fix it but no joy.
Any suggestions?
