State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: rnordier State-Changed-When: Tue Jan 12 13:23:47 PST 1999 State-Changed-Why: Booteasy is a very simple boot manager which supports only two drives and expects to be invoked either by the BIOS or by a copy of itself on the other drive. It appears that, by using it in conjunction with lilo and grub, you may have been pushing beyond its design limits, though it is not entirely clear why you were using it at all in the circumstances. (Probably "Install Boot Manager: None" was the best installation option.) Booteasy has since been replaced by "boot0" in FreeBSD 3.0, and is no longer an official installation option. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
