All three have partition tables made by dos, but only one has an active dos partition. Actually, that's not true, FreeBSD made the partition tables on the first 2 disks, dos only did the third one. According to the doc from NCR, the lowest scsi id boots, but I'd hoped that the boot sector thing (bteasy) would fix that. Bteasy is installed, but it only allows F1 to boot (the FreeBSD first disk). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
