Of course, I set up DOS 6.22 first, then win95, then NT, and finally, we must save the best for last, FreeBSD. Now we can boot to whatever the #*$@ we want! This removes the need to mess around with your BSD boot config files. On two disks it might look something like this for me. wd0 (3.4G) P1 - DOS P2 - FreeBSD wd1 (2.5G) P1 - Win95/Or NT P2 - NT (Skip this if you don't want both) Hope this helps some of the newer folks out there. db -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Turner [mailto:freebsd@vt.edu] Sent: Monday, August 03, 1998 12:19 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: FreeBSD on 2nd master after you select the second disk you get a chance to enter some options. if you do not enter any options it will continue on as normal thinking it is the 1st master. when it looks for root on the first master it panics. to correct this type wd(2,a) after you select the second disk from the boot manager if you put that line in your /boot.config file you will not have to do that. at least I think it is that file. it might be /kernel.config At 02:01 PM 8/3/98 +0500, you wrote: > Hi All !
