Kukulies" Subject: booting from wd1 (bootmanager) To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org Message-id: <199605201529.RAA05890@gilberto.physik.rwth-aachen.de> Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I did an installation from 0501-SNAP and chose wd1 for the installation target. BTW, a very good option would be to be able to get out of the loop when you entered a wrong ftp site and can enter a different URL. After the installation there was no boot manager installed. Also I thought I had done this successfully before on other systems but installing osbs20b8 didn't show me the FreeBSD partition on drive 1. I'm stumped. Can I fearlessly boot the SNAP boot.flp again and choose to write the bootmgr to disk 0? --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
