This line in the insctructions returns a "device not configured" when I try to run this command. dd if=/dev/rad0a of=/mnt/bootsect.bsd bs=512 count=1 I'm sure that this assumes that the system is a dualboot on a single disk on a primary controller. My system is an a7v133 and all my disks are on the promise controller. My winxp disk is the primary master and my BSD disk is the secondary master. I tried changing the command to this: dd if=/dev/ad6s of=/mnt/bootsect.bsd bs=512 count=1 since df reports that my disk is ad6s. Could anyone help me with this please? I don't really understand the bsd disk naming scheme so I'm stuck.
