I've now got two SCSI controllers in my machine: An EISA Adaptec
and an ISA Adaptec.  My boot device in on the ISA controller.   (The EISA
controller and a fast scsi disk are new additions) My
question:  how do I make the system boot from the ISA controller
automagically?  Right now, I have to plug in my PC's monitor (I use a serial
terminal for FreeBSD) and enter '1:da(0,a)kernel -h' to get the
system to boot device 0 on the ISA card.  I tried compiling and installing
new boot blocks  (Installed with 'disklabel -B da0').  Maybe I didn't change
what needs changing?

Thanks!  Really appreciated,

Bret Ford
