Hi,
This is slightly off topic, but since it does involve FreeBSD I decided
to start here to solve this problem.
I'm having a problem with my pc after I installed 3.1-RELEASE. The
machine is a dell precision workstation
410 with an onboard 7890 and 7880. Attached to the 7890 is a 9 gig
Quantum Viking II ultra2-LVD disk
with 5 separate partitions:
Offset Size End Name PType
Desc Subtype Flags
0 63 62 -
6 unused 0
63 8385867 8385929 da0s1 1
NTFS/HPFS/QNX 7
8385930 7341705 15727634 da0s2 1
NTFS/HPFS/QNX 7
15727635 2104515 17832149 da0s3 3
freebsd 165 C>
17832150 4518 17836667 - 6
unused 0 >
off the 7880 are two seagate drives da1 and da2 with da1 containing the
rest of the freebsd system and
da2 being total dedicated to a fat system.
The install went fine and when I rebooted, it booted up FreeBSD, so I
installed the boot manager I've been
using in the past osbsbeta. When I rebooted to NT the boot blue
screened after the kernel loading screen. So I then went back and
install the boot manager that comes with FreeBSD. That atleast allows
me to boot up NT, but now the drive da0 disk shows up as the d drive and
the ds2 disk is assigned to the
c drive, backwards from what it was and of course most of the programs
fail because they are looking at the wrong disk.
My question is what did I screw up, most likey the boot partition on the
da0 disk, and given that it's an
NTFS system what do I need to fix it??
Thanks,
Jim Ballantine
