Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi! I have two EIDE disks, one with Win95 on it as the master of the primary controller, and the other, for BSD as a master on the secondary controller. I've installed BootEasy on both disks, and it lets me boot the kernel from wd2, but when it's time for it to mount the root filesystem, it looks for it on wd1 (the primary controller's slave), and since there is no such thing, it panics. I tried the -a and -r switches on the boot prompt, none of them made any difference. As the boot prompt imples the defaults are wd(1,a)/kernel, I also tried booting from wd(2,a)/kernel, but it didn't like it (didn't fine anything there, just got "Error: C=0; H=0; S=0"). Does boot gets wd1 and wd2 confused? What should I do? Thanks, Nadav
