Hi everyone, I was wondering if the following will work. I have a Western Digital 1.6GIG Drive which I setted up as LBA Mode in the BIOS when I installed FreeBSD as wd0 and I forgot to change the geometry in fdisk so the bootstrap doesn't work. The drive has a 540 meg DOS partition and the rest is FreeBSD. Now, I am booting off the second 1.275 GIG Conner CFA1275A Drive as wd1 which is in NORMAL Bios Mode. Now I wonder if I put the wd0 drive in Normal mode in the Bios, and boot from the second drive, and then bootstrap -B wd0, will this allow the first drive to boot and not mess up the FreeBSD partition? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vince
