Hello: Here is the basic setup that I have here: Tyan S1680S Tahoe, Pentium II 266, 128MB Adaptec 2940UW pci slot 1, Seagate ST19171W dos C: Adaptec 2940UW pci slot 2, Seagate ST19171W dos D: The problem is, that the machine sees "C:" as 80h, and when you install FreeBSD, it writes the / partition and the other partitions destined for SD0 to that wrong drive..DOS drive "D:", or 81h When you boot, the BIOS attempts to boot from 80h "C:", and of course there is no filesystem there, and you get "No Operating System" error. Why are FreeBSD and the system BIOS mapping different drives to be the boot drive?home | help
