Other things I would go hunting for would be: .. jumpers of disks; i.e. the 'second' disk, is it on it's own wire? if the disk is on the same wire with some other device (cdrom?) then setting the jumpers of the devices to reflect their true master/slave relationship is always a good thing. .. messed up installation of booteasy on second disk. Try running boot0cfg on the second disk ;) Ciao, - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
