Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Has anyone succeeded in getting FreeBSD to boot off the hard disk on an intel motherboard - the N440BX, specifically, although I've seen similiar behavior on other intel boards. It has become a major irritant to have to drive to work to insert a boot diskette and type sd(0,a)/kernel every time there's a pow- er failure. (This is 2.2-STABLE, btw.) I cannot reset the machine repeatedly while futzing with the BIOS so I'm hoping someone else has found the right options to set there.
