I have a small leftover slice on the primary drive, and an enormous second drive. Partition hdb starts out well, but prompted for the bootloader, I select hda, and the partitioning I've done on hdb is all gone. If I would like to have my bootloader on hda, I have to partition on hda as well. This way I can only have 300 MB hda for FreeBSD while I have 3.5 GB hdb available. Funny or what? >How-To-Repeat: Well, get an old VX board, I'm running 200MHz on a QDI 430VX, IDE drives. Never have had any problems with Linux distros, albeit this is my first try in FreeBSD. >Fix: Better installer, please. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
