I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE on a second drive in my Win 95-based computer, the installation is on drive 1, wd2. I subsequently installed Booteasy on drive 0 so I could optionally boot to Win 95 or FreeBSD. However, when I choose "drive 2" from Booteasy, the kernel says that the default boot drive is "1:wd(1,a)kernel" instead of "1:wd(2,a)kernel"!! By the way, there is no wd1! Of course, if I enter "1:wd(2,a)kernel" at the boot prompt things work fairly well. I say "fairly well" because when I use UserConfig to delete unneeded devices from the hardware probe process, the program tries to save the changes it to wd1, which doesn't exist, so changes made are not saved. Could use some help. thanks, Peter- Peter.Fogg@worldnet.alt.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
