Hello, on intel: freebsd is installed on the secondary master ide. the bootmgr seems to be installed on both drives (i.e. i get the correct choices for partitions, F1, F2 ,F5 .) However, if i don't explicitly define 1:wd(2,a)kernel at the boot prompt (after the correct partition selection) , the boot fails because the root cannot be mounted. I guess that somewhere in the process the device for root gets switched to another partition. I don;t particlarly wish to force users to explicitly define the kernel parameters, so does anyone know how to fix this ? . I looked through the config (-c) and couldn't find anything there. Please mail me directly, Thanks for any assistance. gerry fontenay@george.lbl.gov To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
