I have looked through the entire /sys/i386/boot/biosboot dir, but can't seem to find the right code to get my kernel to boot off the second drive -wd(1,a)- automatically. Could someone tell me which line to change? 2. My DOS drive (wd0e) won't mount from freebsd. That partition table in DOS fdisk notes the proper partition is there, and the boot loader loads and runs DOS fine, so I know that the partition isn't corrupted. It's the first partition on the drive. Any ideas? Here's my setup: 486 33, 8mb ram FreeBSD 2.0R 2 IDE drives, C: 210 mb, D: 1032 mb Drive 1: Drive 2: 190mb DOS, 15 mb freebsd swap 1000 mb freebsd, 32 mb freebsd swap Please reply via email and cc it to the list if you wish because I am still not subscribed to it while I am setting up the appropriate filter.
