Hello,
I have been running FBSD 2.0.5R on my machine since it release date. I had
the following configuration
master drive(ide): windows nt 3.5, 500meg
slave drive(ide): 1st 500meg fbsd, the rest windows nt
This configuration worked flawlessly untill yesterday when I reformatted and
repartitioned both of my harddrives. Also, for the above config. I used
only one primary disk controller.
Now I have windows 95 on my 1st ide and fnsd on the 2nd ide drive with 2
slices of 360 meg each. I also tried one large 700 meg slice. I am using a
secondary e-ide controller for the fbsd hd. I installed win95 1st and then
fbsd, installation runs very smoothly (from WC-cdrom) and I install
(supposedly) the boot manager (also tried standard) but when it reboots,
there is absolutely no trace of the boot manager or any part of fbsd. I get
booted directly into win95!!!!
Is there any way around this problem? Isn't fbsd supposed to overwrite the
win95 boot blocks?
Thanks for your time :-)
