I don't know what OS you have on the IDE drive but you can at any time disable the IDE drive from the BIOS (CMOS) and boot FreeBSD off the SCSI disk while still seeing the IDE disk from FreeBSD. I don't know of a bootloader that allows booting from more than one controller - not sure though, if OSBS2BETA allows for this. Does the SCSI Bios allow for installing a SCSI drive at SCSI ID !=0 being installed as drive D: ? Not sure at the moment. > > Aaron Elliott > > --Chris Christoph P. U.
