i'm trying to get OpenBSD booted from my second ide disk - on the first is
FreeBSD with booteasy installed - it also says fine:
F1: BSD
F2: disk2
but after pressing F2 i get the same menu - i know i had the same problem with
NetBSD some time ago and got it somehoe working - but can't remember how - can
anybody tell me a bit more about how booteasy works ?
i think all trivial things are ok:
* wd1 is < 540 mb
* wd1 is in the bios
* wd1 has a correct fdisk entry (made again with the FreeBSD fdisk)
* the OpenBSD (the only one) partition ismarked active
* it has a correct OpenBSD bootblock on it
* there's no booteasy on that second disk (resulting in ping pong between the
two booteasy's)
* the OpenBSD partition is the full disk
any ideas ? - thanks in advance
t
p.s.: how about making it possible to boot each of the *BSD's with the other
bootloaders - i can boot FreeBSD with the NetBSD (1.1) one - but not vice
versa - Open- and FreeBSD are both not bootable by the other block - i think
there can't be much of a difference in them
