Try (as I recall) F5 to shift BootEasy to looking at the second drive... Other messier options include switching the boot using BIOS, or modifying a boot floppy to have a default of 0:wd(1,a)kernel (c.f. 'man boot_i386') Jeff ##### Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 19:11:11 -0500 From: Tigner Subject: booting FreeBSD3.0 from wd(1,a) [...] master: 63 sectors for MBR 250 MB FAT16 dos partition <=== F1 . . .
