Disk 1 is split into 5 DOS partitions, > Disk 2 is 2 DOS partitions, if that matters how many partitions are per > disk.

I've had no success. > When i install Bootmgr from DOS, it gives me two options, to install it > on 0, and 1, and it shows It only shows Disk 2 as being bootable, im > thinking its the main DOS partition, this is becoming very confusing. > If anyone has installed FreeBSD on a separate physical disks with > another OS, please let me know what options you used for Bootmgr, and > how you set it up to boot FreeBSD. > > Thanks, > Troy I don't know exactly, but propably it'll be easier to use another (more powerful) boot manager than FreeBSD's. zuntum:*:*:Tomasz Luchowski:zuntum@lagoon.freebsd.org.pl zuntum@lagoon.freebsd.org.pl:@nemezis:@fenix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
