I have a system that currently has a 2GB scsi drive, I would like to add some cheap extra space. Should I expect problems if I add a 20 or 30GB IDE drive to the system? I still want to boot from the scsi. As long as I don't create a bootable partition on the IDE am I set or do I have to do something to explicitly keep booting off the scsi? Is the fact that the scsi controller knows that the drive is bootable sufficient to get past the motherboard's bios? As I say, probably a silly question here, but there are some nuances I'm not sure of in the boot process. ________________________________________________________________________ Darren Henderson darren@bmv.state.me.us darren.henderson@state.me.us To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
