I have a system with an IDE HD (BIOS disk #0) and an SCSI one (BIOS disk #1). I want the OS (FreeBSD 2.2.2) to boot from the SCSI and use the IDE for simple storage, so I put the booteasy thing on both disks and arranged to start from the SCSI part, but for some reason it looks for sd(1,a) instead of sd(0,a), so it panics, etc. If I manually type "1:sd(0,a)kernel" at boot, it does start correctly. So I edited /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c, and put there the same values of biosdrive, dosdev, maj, etc. that I see when booting to sd(0,a) as mentioned above, and recompiled and installed the kernel. However, I must be doing something wrong as nothing changes. Any advice would be appreciated. C. Amengual Healthnet SL Spain
