My setup is 3 scsi disks: sd0: dedicated to FreeBSD, /, 48M swap (b), and /usr sd1: also dedicated to FreeBSD, 48M swap (b), and /usr2 (e) sd2: The small one, 200M dedicated to dos. FreeBSD works fine, boots fine, but I cannot get the presently installed bteasy to recognize sd2. I can get to it if I boot from floppy, and I've formatted it and installed dos, but I can't get it to boot (yes, the partition on sd2 is marked active, I checked). I need to have matlab working by Monday for an engineering class, nothing else will do (math department is equally adamant about Mathematica, but I have that working under FreeBSD!) Can I please get some help in making the 3rd scsi disk boot? Oh, I forgot, scsi ids are sd0=1, sd1=2, sd2=4. I can't find any docs on bteasy or bootinst, but given any choice, I'd choose bteasy. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
