I was told that the installation boot disk will work. If this is not true will you please tell me how to make a boot disk. If this is true will you please tell me what I should enter at boot time if I have the following setup. My FreeBSD partitions are as follows. wd1s4a = / wd1s4b = swap wd1s4e = /var wd1s4f = /usr wd1s4g = /usr/local This is Drive D: under Dos/Win and /dev/hd1 under Linux and drive 1 in my bios. I have 1 Dos partition and 1 Linux partition on this disk. I've figured out the beginning '1:wd(' I need to know the rest. Drew Vogel mkv@internetwis.com PS if you have time will you try to explain how to decipher wd1s4* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
