Hi! I have install FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a friend of mine's computer. He has Windows on the IDE disk and added a SCSI one for FreeBSD. We did not had any trouble while installing the system on the SCSI disk (the controller is an Adaptec 15xx : aic controller). The problem is about booting. Its BIOS does not provide any solution to boot from a SCSI device. It cannot afford to reinstall the / slice on an IDE disk. Is there a way to boot from floppy, dos, windows (we do not have a compiler to compile winboot)? I have browse the handbook, the FAQs, the mailing list with no success! Does any one can point me to information about how to solve this problem? Is there any body willing to write an "How to boot from an unreckonized SCSI disk?" Faq? Thanks. Phil.
