I am having trouble with booting into FreeBSD. I have my primary IDE master drive booting Windows. There was no primary slave. The Freebsd disk was the secondary IDE master. My CDROM is SCSI. I added a primary IDE slave drive. My boot menu (booteasy) used to do a strange double selection thing, where it would ask twice what disk I wanted to boot from. (I assume this is because I accidentally installed it on both master drives.) Windows will boot OK. However, I get a "Previous disk failed.." message when I select FreeBSD, and have to book by using a fixit floppy and telling it "2:ad(2,a)/kernel". I'm assiming something in the boot process for my FreeBSD drive is screwy, but I can't identify it. I've tried a variety of things with fdisk. Anyone have suggestions for me?
