Hi, I have installed Linux on a second hard drive but it looks like it wipe out the boot sector for the FreeBSD 4.0 that reside on the first bootable hard drive disk. How do I restore the boot file? In Linux they use the LILO module where you can add OS that you would like to choose from at boot time and one of the question is "Kernel to boot" where many choices are available. How do I identify the FreeBSD 4.0 kernel in the list? Could it be vmlinuz-2.2.14- 15 mdk? Also can I boot from a floppy? I'm I to use the Kern.FLP disk? If yes at what point so I exit out to get to the system prompt or boot: prompt? Do I need to insert the MrsRoot.FLP since I am not doing an installation. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
