Hi everyone, I have just installed FreeBSD 2.1 on my Intel Pentium System. I have an NCR SCSI controller and IDE controllers both on the PCI bus and the BIOS supports the NCR. Now I have two IDE drives (one on each controller) and a SCSI drive and FreeBSD is on my SCSI drive. When I installed FreeBSD I chose to install the boot manager but that did not work apparently. Can someone please tell me how to make this boot loader work. I can now boot FreeBSD via the floppy but that is kind of awkward and requires me to be very alert. By the way I type hd(2,a)/kernel at the install floppy boot prompt. Thanks Bora akyol@leland.stanford.EDU ps. Basically I want to know how to install a bootloader on wd0 so that it will boot either dos which is on wd0 or sd0.
