After doing the following
boot0cfg -B wd0
boot0cfg -B wd1
I can no longer boot into my first drive using BootEasy.
Here is output for how drive 0 is setup
cylinders=10767 heads=59 sectors/track=63 (3717 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=10767 heads=59 sectors/track=63 (3717 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 0, size 40021632 (19541 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 58
The drive is a dangerously dedicated drive. wd1 contains just my swap partition located right at the begining, followed by a NetBSD partition taking up the rest of the drive.
cylinders=2108 heads=256 sectors/track=63 (16128 blks/cyl)

The last drive doesn't really come into play, it is a dedicated OpenBSD drive. I can boot into the NetBSD partition on wd1 and OpenBSD on wd2, but can no longer boot into FreeBSD on wd0.
boot0cfg -v wd0
# flag start chs type end chs offset size
1 0x80 0: 0: 1 0xa5 1023: 58:63 0 40021632
drive=0x80 options=nopacket,update,nosetdrv ticks=182
boot0cfg -v wd1
# flag start chs type end chs offset size
1 0x80 0: 1: 1 0xa5 32: 0: 1 63 514017
2 0x00 32: 80: 1 0xa9 1023:255:63 519120 33485760
drive=0x80 options=nopacket,update,nosetdrv ticks=182
I thought that one was supposed to be 0x80, the other 0x81?
On boot up my options look like this...
F1 FreeBSD (this is the one I want)
F5 Drive 1
I hit F1 and I get the same message...
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1
I hit F2 I get...
F1 FreeBSD
F2 ?? (this is NetBSD and it boots)
F5 Drive 2 (this is OpenBSD and it boots)
I hit F1 (this is my swap partition) and get...
no kernel found
then I get...
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:wd(1,a)/kernel
boot:
at which point I can enter boot wd(0,a)/kernel and get into drive one.
Any suggestions on how to fix this. If more info is needed let me know.
Ian
