Machine 2: FreeBSD needs (at least when I had tried the same thing once) to boot off of one of the 2 first BIOS Drives. You could try moving the HD around to try it. A possible solution could be to use a DOS based loader (I used to use one on Linux, but I haven't tried any of the FreeBSD type of loaders), perhaps some one else here can explain how to copy the kernel to the C drive and run the loader app. David Botton ---------- From: cliff To: stable Subject: Re: help help I'm being repressed Date: Monday, September 29, 1997 6:18AM <> of all the particulars I forgot the most important................... 2.2.2 stable thanks, I'll also send it questions@freebsd.org -cliff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CLIFFSWORLD homepage------------ "Open Throttle" automotive e-zine- Quake-Clan "RIP" homepage------------- p.o. box 1055, Maywood NJ, 07607-7055 fone 201-843-0936 PGP v5.0 public key available "never drive faster than your guardian angels can fly"
