After I installed "novice install" onto a second harddrive (IDE 6.1 GB) in my system I cannot get FreeBSD to boot. I can alway change the boot sequence using "Setup" to get to WIN95 installed on a primary drive. The very first time I installed FreeBSD I selected "A" option to allocate the whole second disk to FreeBSD. I am wondering if this is a source of the problem. I have since used fdisk under windows and allocated a DOS partition on the second drive and then reinstalled but still no luck. Also WIN95 "Windows Explorer" shows the presence of the second drive but when I click on it a dialog box appears with the message: "D:\ is not accessible. A device attached to the system is not functioning" The PC system is new and was assembled by a very reputable dealer in Milwaukee WI. They have been in business over 13 years with 4 stores in the metro area. I could take the system in and inquire about the hard drive "D:" not being recognized. Please Help!!!!!!!
