The reason is that I want to get os-bs to work. I installed freebsd on a primary hdd, and windows on a other - secondary hdd. Now I had to install os-bs on the secondary (win95) hdd. So that way I had to change the secondary to the primary and the primary to the secondary. Means FreeBSD that was primary is now secondary and Windows that was secondary is now primary. The os-bs works well. BUT when I am trying to boot freebsd its stopping at the mounting root device stage. Thats normal since he wants to mount the fbsd hdd but on the other hand hes trying to mount the windows hdd.... confuzing problem -> could somebody please help me ? Thanks for future !
