Summary :
 
I 'm having some kind of reboot problem like after a FreeBSD boot = it=20 passivates the Primary DOS partition on Pri-IDE Master Drive so that i = cannot=20 boot up the next time. I never had such a problem on the same state = before.=20
 
 
 
The story:
 
I have 2 harddisks, 20GB Quantum on Pri-IDE Master and 3.2GB = Quantum on=20 Sec-IDE Master. I also have a 32X Pioneer CD-Rom Drive attached on = Sec-IDE=20 Slave. The Pri-IDE Slave is free.
 
The 20GB Harddisk is partitioned into 3 on a Win98 system with = approx. 10GB=20 C: , 6GB D:, and 4GB E: drives.
 
The 3.2GB Harddisk is a complete FreeBSD 4.1 system with some MBs = of Swap=20 (for ex. 256MB) and the rest is a file system ( / ).
 
 
The procedure i follow on installing both OS :
 
First i install the Win98 OS on to C: and then i boot up from = my=20 FreeBSD 4.1 CD and make the FreeBSD 4.1 OS install. After the FreeBSD=20 installation I reboot to run FreeBSD and the boot manager respectively = displays=20
 
F1 Windows
F5 Drive 1
 
so that i hit F5 and
 
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 0
 
and then i hit F1 this time and boot up the FreeBSD system. = Everything=20 seems to be working fine now until i shutdown and/or = reboot to=20 run either Windows 98 or FreeBSD 4.1.
 
And here comes the problem :
 
It cannot find the active partition resulting with a disk boot = failure.=20 This makes me fdisk with a Win98 or FreeBSD boot disk and = reactivate the C:=20 drive and restart. This time it boots from Win98 but if i choose to = boot from FreeBSD then the same problem occurs. Its like booting = the=20 FreeBSD pasivates the C: .
 
 
Any comments?

An additional question i would like to ask since i have stated the = Harddisk=20 details above. I have no problem on mounting C: with the command
 
mount_msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt
 
but i don't know how to mount DOS (actually Windows 98 FAT32) = drives D: and=20 E: . What is the procedure i should follow ?
 
 
 
 
Thanks very much.
