From: Rich Wales To: Joerg Wunsch Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: bin/2736: No boot block if no FreeBSD partitions on first hard drive Date: Fri, 14 Feb 1997 18:58:12 -0500 (EST) Joerg -- Replying to: Are you sure you selected the first hard drive in the partition editor at all (without doing anything there, of course, apart from answering the boot manager ques- tion)? If you only visit the second drive, sysinstall will do what you've told it, and only install the boot manager there. (It violated this principle in the past, but this wasn't actually a Good Thing.) Yes, I did select the first hard drive, and I did answer the "boot manager" question for that drive. But it silently ignored my action.
