Boot problem

Hello all,

Over the past two months I have been tinkering with various flavors of Linux 
and last week I decided to try FreeBSD.  [Yes, I know it isn't Linux]

I installed FreeBSD last night for the second time on a Dell Dimension but 
when I restarted, the computer goes into a continual boot-loop and won't go 
past the "F1 Default" message before it restarts.  This problem occurred the 
first time I installed it also.

While I have years of MS-DOS, Mac, and Windows experience, I'm new to 
Unix/Linux and don't know where to start troubleshooting this issue.

Thanks for your help.

Kent
