Hda has W2K, and I just reduced that 19 gig HD with Partition Magic, and made another primary partition/slice for FreeBSD, about 8.1Gb. I installed FreeBSD 4.0 Power-pack with my CD rom... using the default automatic slice setups on that primary partition (without its bootloader). All went well no problems. Hdb has Linux, and I have been using the latest LILO for a boot loader seems like forever.. I added the following to the end of my lilo.conf, other = /dev/hda2 table = /dev/hda label = bsd fired it up again. Lilo accepted this without errors, and upon reboot, lilo shows me BSD, but it will not boot, for some reason, BSD will not boot, telling me I have a read error. The other 2 OSs, are fine. Can some one help, so I can enjoy my BSD? I have checked HOWTO's, etc, based on what I found in this group's archives, made the changes, but to no avail as the read error upon booting into BSD. ----entire lilo.conf----- boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only prompt timeout = 50 lba32 message = /boot/message image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hdb3 initrd = /boot/initrd image = /boot/vmlinuz.suse label = suse root = /dev/hdb3 initrd = /boot/initrd.suse other = /dev/hda1 label = windows other = /dev/hda2 table = /dev/hda label = bsd Thanks for your help. -- Best regards, Gary mailto:medmanks@mindspring.com Today's thought: Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints...
