Here's a problem from freebsd-questions which no-one seems able to find a satisfactory answer to:- The following steps allegedly allow booting FreeBSD from a SCSI drive when an IDE drive is also present, ie instead of having to type 'hd(1,a)/kernel' every time the system boots. # cd /sys/i386/boot/biosboot # vi boot.c part = 0; unit = 1; maj = 1; # make # disklabel -B -b boot1 -s boot2 wd0 However, this results in the error message "disklabel: /dev/rwd0c: Undefined error: 0". As far as I can see from the code, this message only occurs if disklabel was unable to open the disk as a raw device, or if it could not read the boot area. This is on 2.1.0R; the command *is* being run as root, and wd0 is not mounted anywhere. Suggestions? -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
