Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.2. I have two hard drives on my PC. The primary is a Western Digital 5.1 GB (EIDE). The second is an old DEC RZ25 406MB (SCSI). I installed FreeBSD on the SCSI drive. The installation went without a hitch. However, the next time I boot the machine, System Commander detects FreeBSD, but can't boot the FreeBSD partition. System Commander tells me the boot record is possibly corrupt. So, I try to re-install FreeBSD. Again, the installation seems to work flawlessly. Once again I reboot the machine. This time when I select the FreeBSD menu option, I get a READ error. Just for kicks, I installed RedHat 4.2 to the exact same hard drive and System Commander was able to detect the new OS and boot it with no problem. Does anyone have some experience with System Commander and FreeBSD 2.2.2 that they could share with me? Why would System Commander be able to detect and work with RedHat 4.2 and not FreeBSD 2.2.2. TIA for your comments and suggestions!
