In the January, 1995, UNIX Review, David Baily, mentions the Bus Logic
BT-410A IDE caching controller as a multi-booting solution. The
controller is supposed to let you boot from any one of up to 4
attached drives. Has anyone used one of these with FreeBSD? If so,
how do you like it?
I want to load FreeBSD, Windows NT workstation, and Windows 95 (each
on a separate drive) on my system. Do you think one of these
controllers would be a worth while investment (I will need to upgrade
my IDE controller to EIDE to accomodate for the third drive that I
will be purchasing anyway)?
Does anyone know of any similar controllers with the multi-boot
facility but with out the cache (a less expensive alternative).
Also, will I still be able to mount any MS-DOS FAT partitions from
FreeBSD if I do this?
Any comments or suggestions be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jon
