I'm having a bit of trouble getting FreeBSD to load the kernel from the right disk slice. Basically, wd0 is as follows wd0s1 : DOS partition wd0s2 : DOS Extended partition wd0s3 : FreeBSD root fs (most stuff is on wd2). When I choose to boot FreeBSD (I use os-bs as the boot manager) the default boot is 0:wd(0,a)kernel Sure, typing 0:wd(0,c)kernel works fine, but how do I make this the default? Creating /boot.config on wd0s3 doesn't help, presumably since it will look for boot.config on wd0s1, or something. So what I have done wrong? I'm sure it used to work in a similar way so no doubt I've broken something. (fwiw, it worked on 2.2.5-release, but not on -current. I doubt it's been broken since then, more likely I've broken something.) -- Ben Smithurst : ben@scientia.demon.co.uk : http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/ PGP: 0x99392F7D - 3D 89 87 42 CE CA 93 4C 68 32 0E D5 36 05 3D 16 http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/ben/pgp-key.html (or use keyservers) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
