I've installed 2.2.5 on my box this morning. I've got 2 SCSI hardrives in there. After doing the slicing, the whole installation went well, but .... when the system boots, I get options --------------------- F1 ... BSD F5 ... disk2 F?: --------------------- The first disk I toggled bootable, and installed the strap. The second disk I left as is. Whenever I type in F1 to boot from the first disk, nothing happens and the boot options are echo'd again. How can I make only the first disk bootable, and don't get the menu? Thanks -Jacques
