with LBA turned on, only the first partition is bootable. you have to turn off the LBA (and this translates the IDE differently -- I think they usually double the head and half the cylinders to fool DOS) I found now that you are using the real drive geometry you have to re-intall DOS and FreeBSD. It has been about 6 months since I last played with this, but I couldn't get any OS in any partition other than the first partition with LBA turned on. --mark.
