Streeter" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.61 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: booting from 2nd hard disk Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've modified my system by adding a second hard drive. The first hard disk is dedicated to MS-DOS, and the second for FreeBSD. I just installed BSD on the second disk, and was unsure if the boot manager should be loaded on disk one or two... I did not load any manager and thus tried to access BSD via the boot floppy (running release 3.1). How do I specify which drive/partition/slice for booting the kernel from disk 2? Under the older releases I was able to do this from the boot menu, but this appears to be different. Also in regard to the boot manager, where should that be installed? Thanks in advance...
