My impression was that all bootloaders (including grub) load themselves into the primary disk -- do you have an option to specify which harddisk you want to load to. Infact that's the reason why most (if not all) Operating Systems need the primary partition t= o be on the primary harddisk. Pavan Balaji, CIS Graduate Student, Ohio State University _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Yes, GRUB gives you the option. The GRUB documentation is available at http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub/html_mono/grub.html . In any case, the solution is the same, given that I imagine the system is booting from the first disk, while, having uninstalled FBSD from the second disk, Rap is wondering why he still sees its bootloader. Rap should install on the first disk the bootloader he wants to use. Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
