I got it to work last night and thought I would share this info hoping that some other soul might benefit. Someone had recommended that I try the newest 2.2 Snapshot boot.flp to see if it would recognize it. They also said to try attaching the CD as the slave device off the primary IDE controller. I tried to boot from the 2.2 disk without doing anything to my CD. Didn't work. Then I (just for grins) tried attaching my CD as "slave" to the secondary IDE controller (only device on controller). I booted the 2.2 disk and it recognized it. I then proceeded to install 2.1.5 (after changing the release to 2.1.5-RELEASE using the options menu selection) using the 2.2 disk. Now if I could only get it to boot using booteasy. What kind of boot record do I need on my FreeBSD disk (second disk)? booteasy? standard? none? -- David Quattlebaum, (sasdrq@unx.sas.com) "Why if only we were all wiener dogs, our problem would be solved!"
