What type of disks you have? What do you mean by "can't boot from second drive anymore"? Could you boot before? What happened? What error messages do you have? In principle you can boot a floppy (like the installation floppy) and give it the location of the kernel at the boot: prompt. The syntax depends on the version of FreeBSD, but should be something like wd(1,a)/kernel I'm not sure about the syntax, but it gives a small example when it presents the prompt... What do you mean: Tell BootEasy where to boot from? If the second disk is configured, when BootEasy starts it will let you press F5 to boot the second disk. BootEasy must, of course, be installed on the first disk (the one that DOS would call C:). > > > Thanks > > If you didn't get the answers that you want, please post again and give us more information to chew on...
