I have a problem:
I installed FreeBSD on my 2nd SCSI drive in a machine that has 2 IDE and
2 SCSI drive.
I use LILO or the IBM OS Loader to boot from the SCSI drive. At this
point, I get the FreeBSD boot prompt. If I press enter, it boots the
kernel, and then it fails to mount the / partition, because it thinks it
is on sd3a, where in fact it is on sd1a
To get it to work, I have to enter:
3:sd(1,a)
at the boot prompt.
The question is: why does it get confused about the ID of the disk it
booted from (it think it booted from sd(3,a) ), and how can I modify
something so that it will do the right thing without me having to enter
'3:sd(1,a)' at the boot prompt every time I want to boot ?
PS: I have the same problem with NetBSD...
PS2: the machine has an ASUS P55T2P4 motherboard with an NCR SCSI
conroler (and SCSI BIOS).
Thanks for any info.
