The solution I used: Insert install floppy in drive. At the boot prompt, type hd(1,a)/kernel This was to boot FreeBSD off a SCSI disk when an IDE disk was present. If you have two IDE disks, wd(1,a)/kernel, or for SCSI sd(1,a)/kernel should do the job (I think). As I remember, there was a bug in the 2.1.0-RELEASE install program which caused problems when installing FreeBSD to the second disk. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
