*Dear Friends,
*
*Having installed FreeBSD2.7 on a first hard disk  ( 1st IDE master  -
cdrom occupies  its slave )
*and FreeBSD3.0 on a second disk at the 2nd IDE master,  I encountered
the following problem:
*The (FreeBSD) boot loader starts correctly with displaying  function
keys (F5/F1) that refer to the
*two disks/systems and promise to switch between them.  However,
selecting the 2nd disk, the
*boot loader eventually terminates with "changing root device to
wd1s1a" ( displayed message )
*instead of changing to wd2s1a ( as would be correct ). - Of course,
this runs into kernel panic.
*
*The boot process terminates without any problems after initially
selecting,  explicitely,
*boot:  1:wd(2,a)kernel
*- Obviously , this is not a very elegant solution .
*
*Thus my question:
*
*How can I get the boot selector to change correctly on wd2s1a after
selecting the second disk
*in the canonical way - i.e. simply with the function keys ?
*
*Steffen Hein
