I'm trying to install this using 2 separate Hard Disks. Both of which are IDE. I know the boot record can only be held on my master drive which is of course, Drive 0 (Label C:) I installed FreeBSD on drive 01 which is my second fixed drive with one primary partition (I am using the whole disk for FreeBSD). after the installation was finished, I rebooted my PC (IBM Compatible with Windows 95 as the primary OS) and did not get any kind of prompt, even though I chose to install Boot easy, to choose which OS I wanted to Boot up into. I then installed a program called System Commander, which is supposed to auto detect all operating systems that are installed in the boot record. The question is: How do I get FreeBSD installed on a dual IDE drive system when the boot record can only be contained on the C: drive? I followed all of the installation instructions that were shipped with the 4 CD-ROM set, and still no luck. Even read the book that came with the CD's, and could not find anything on my particular case. If you have any suggestions as to the method(s) I should use to install FreeBSD, then Email me at JROGERS351@AOL.COM Thank you James Rogers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
