I have two disks... When I installed freebsd on the second disk (a 1.2gig WD), fbsdboot and booteasy doesn't boot it (booteasy sees it...but won't boot it) but I can boot off a floppy (by doing wd(1,a)/kernel. I took off os/2 on my first hard disk and installed a minimal freebsd disk slice which boots from booteasy on the first hard disk... But what are the devices (and how can I query the system about them) on the second hard disk? Is there anything which explains the syntax of the parititons? Also, can I make a disk slice in an extended dos partition? marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur C.
