I am putting together a system with Win95 (For Games), WinNT (To be compatible
with the office.) and FreeBSD (Because I wanted a real opperating system.)
I am trying to lay out how I am going to have the system setup, could someone
take a look at this and tell me if I have the naming correct? I'm going to
boot all three from the NT Loader with the BOOT.INI file:
**File: C:\BOOT.INI
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)C:\BOOTSECT.BSD
[operating systems]
multi(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT v4.0 sp2+"
multi(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)C:\BOOTSECT.BSD="FreeBSD v2.2"
multi(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)C:\="Windows 95r2"
My system has three hard disks, a 1gig and two 2gig's (One of the 2gig's is a
SCSI 3). Is this right? Will it work?
**The System
Primary IDE (Disabled)
Secondary IDE
(cd0) Hitachi CD-ROM (Master, Mostly for sound.)
Adaptec 2940UW
(sd0) SCSI 2: ID 6; 1.2gig HD
(sd0s1) FAT16 (1gig BOOT w/NT Boot Loader & Win95) Primary ACTIVE
(sd0s2) FreeBSD (200m) NonDOS
(sd0s2a) FBSDFS "/" (100%)
(sd1) SCSI 2: ID 5; 2gig HD
(sd1s1) NTFS (1.3gig Windows NT 4.0) Primary
(sd1s2) FAT16 (500m) Extended Logical
(sd1s3) FreeBSD (300m) NonDOS
(sd1s3a) FreeBSD-Swap (100%)
(sd2) SCSI 3: ID 8; 2gig HD
(sd2s1) FreeBSD (2gig) NonDOS "Dangerously" Dedicated ;)
(sd2s1a) FBSDFS "/usr" (90%)
(sd2s1b) FBSDFS "/var" (10%)
(???) SCSI 2: ID 4; Scanner*
(???) SCSI 2: ID 3; Jaz Drive*
(???) SCSI 2: ID 2; ZIP Drive*
(???) SCSI 2: ID 1; 4mm Dat Tape*
(cd1) SCSI 3: ID 9; CD-ROM Burner*
* = This is a future expansion item, but I need to plan for it now.
This is what I think the fstab should look like:
File: (sd0s2a)/etc/fstab
/dev/sd1s3a none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd0s2a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd2s1a /usr ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd2s1b /var ufs rw 1 1
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
/dev/cd1a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
So, what do you think? The Main reason I have FreeBSD on multiple drives is
because I know that / has to be on the primary disk (Or am I wrong with this.)
And I wanted SWAP to be on a different disk than the system for better
preformance.
