System Commander v3.01 does not recognize or allow me to boot to /dev/wd2 which is my Secondary Master HD that I have installed FreeBSD on. I have tried writing the MBR and setting the partition active during the install, but nothing works. i can't even boot to the HD from the Boot: prompt from the install floppy. I tried: wd2/kernel wd2a/kernel wd(2,a)/kernel, etc, etc... But I am able to see the partition during the install/post install. I have not been able to find any info concerning if it is ok to install on this HD. Any help is appreciated. -- /* Chuck Rouzer - rouzer@spyder.net - http://www.spyder.net /*
