I've done all the things Dave has had trouble with, and not had anything
near the troubles he reports. When I put FreeBSD on a SCSI disk with an IDE
already in the system the only thing that bugged me is that I never
overcame the need to type "sd(1,a)/kernel" or whatever to get to FreeBSD.
Actually I solved that problem by pulling the 800M IDE drive and adding a
2G SCSI to my 500M SCSI.
While I don't think *I'm* qualified to help Dave, reading his message I had
a lot more questions that should have been answered in his posting if he
expects help. Particulars such as "Which FreeBSD release?", "What
make/models MB, BIOS, DOS, Windows, IDE HD, SCSI card, SCSI drive, CDROM?"
"What drivers are used in DOS/Windows to access your drives?" "How much
memory do you have?"
