I understand how wd0 is the first ide drive in the system, but what happens= when you get many DOS partitions on that drive...or many more drives, in= many different places? I've also had problems in different configurations where the boot.config= file isn't made automatically...if its supposed to be. I've usually guessed at the boot> prompt until I got it right, but I don't= understand how its supposed to work. Also, let me make sure I have this straight:=A0=20 wd =3D IDE=A0=A0=A0 sd =3D SCSI=A0 interface dos partition =3D freebsd slice Maybe someone could help me fill in this table I've made up of a= hypothetical system with 4 IDE hard drives.
