I have and IDE controller The primary channel master is my old C: with Win98 The primary channel slave is my CD-ROM The seconday channel master is currently my second hard drive with freebsd (only) Computer hangs on boot and doesn't recognize the second hard drive. I 'assume' that is because Win98 doesn't know what to do with the HD with freebsd on it. Do I need to load a small DOS partition on my second HD.. the one with freebsd on it so that Win98 can find it? In short, I would like to keep freebsd on a HD by itself and still have the choice of booting to either my old C: with Win98 or the HD with freebsd. I have Partition Magic and Bootmagic also available. Many thanks to all (again) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
