I am trying to work out how to get NT to give me a choice to load Freebsd.
Some details:
Buslogic controller, 1st scsi drive has NT loaded on it, 2nd scsi drive
has freebsd. I should say that I can boot Freebsd from floppy with
sd(1,a)/kernel.
>From what I have read I have copied /usr/mdec/sdboot to the first scsi
drive ie. c:\sdboot.sec - after editing boot.ini to point to sdboot.sec I
get a choice when the disk is booted. If I choose Freebsd I get a message
"no bootable partition".
Following more reading I tried editing /usr/src/sys/i386/biosboot/boot.c
to include:
part = 0;
unit = 1;
drive = 0x81;
maj = 0;
Following compiling it I copied it again to c:\sdboot.sec
using dd i.e:
dd if=/usr/mdec/sdboot of=/mountpointofdosfilesystem/sdboot.sec bs=512
count=1
Again no bootable partition.
Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong.
