My boot device in on the ISA controller. (The EISA controller and a fast scsi disk are new additions) My question: how do I make the system boot from the ISA controller automagically? Right now, I have to plug in my PC's monitor (I use a serial terminal for FreeBSD) and enter '1:da(0,a)kernel -h' to get the system to boot device 0 on the ISA card. I tried compiling and installing new boot blocks (Installed with 'disklabel -B da0'). Maybe I didn't change what needs changing? Thanks!
