Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Is there a way to do this? the fact that i boot off of wd0s4 may seem a bit weird to you :> seeing as how i want to use wd0s1.. but at the time i installed FreeBSD i had dos on this partition, and linux and its swap partition on the other 2.. so that left me with 4.. :> but i have since ditched dos, and want to use it's drive for FreeBSD.. i use linux' s LILO as my os loader.. if that makes any difference.. when i have wd0s1 marked as a FreeBSD partition, and the FreeBSD loader comes up, it tells me it cant find /kernel.. and when i delete wd0s1 and reboot, it boots find.. this leads me to beleive that its looking on the first partition to boot off of.. :> (not much gets past me.. ahem (smirk)) just curious if there is any way i could get around this.. i am in no way emotionally attached to using LILO as my booter.. so if fbsd's will fix the problem, id be glad to switch.. thanks.. -Paul...
