No, this isn't wasted at all! In point of fact, the drive is a Maxtor Diamondmax 17.2 Gig jumpered as master on IDE1... FreeBSD sysinstall sees this as wd0. As things stand right now, I've installed FreeBSD 3.2 from CD onto the thing as "dangerously dedicated" and have booteasy installed on da0 (my boot drive). I'd really prefer to share wd0 with an Ebola95 partition, and boot FreeBSD from wd0 and Ebola95 from da0. I know it can be done, I'm just not sure how... Tonight, I'll have to try the following: 1. Install OS-BS beta and see if it helps (I'll probably end up with this anyway, since it allows me to properly call Windows95 Ebola95 :)) 2. Jumper wd0 to be a slave, necessitating boot up from da0. This is an adequate solution, although optimal is for the BIOS to boot from "C,A,SCSI" -- otherwise, it's "SCSI,C,A". 3. Install Ebola95 into a dos partition on wd0, leaving my previously-installed applications on da0. I suppose that'll work; I just don't want to go through the hassle of having to install all my apps again on wd0. 4. Commit hari-kuri (sp?) with a butter knife. Any other suggestions (especially additions to #4 :-)) are welcome! -- Matt Meola Bailey, Colorado NRA Life Member Amateur Radio Operator - KC0DXW http://www.qsl.net/kc0dxw "Gun control means using two hands."
