Who do I call? Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Boot your machine and use `B:wd(U,a)kernel' B = BIOS drive number (0,1,2,...). U = unit number. For example, if you have three IDE drives (two attached to primary controller and third attached as master to secondary IDE), and you want to boot from the 3rd drive, you should specify 2:wd(2,a). To get started, then rebuild your kernel changing the 'kernel' line in the kernel configuration point to root on wd2.
