I have an IDE drive with 2 partitions: 1 is Win 95, and 2 is
FreeBSD.
I also have a SCSI disk, which is all 1 partition (FreeBSD).
The problem I am having is this:
I can boot unix from the IDE drive (which has the boot selector
installed)
but I cannot boot unix from the scsi drive.
At the boot prompt, I can only boot from 0:wd(0,a)kernel
but I cannot boot from 1:sd(0,a)kernel. It gives me a scrolling
error message:
status: d:0 c:0 ...etc
In addition when I press F5 to go to the 2nd disk (SCSI),
I get the options F1 (BSD) or F5 . Pressing F1 also
causes the same error message to be scrolled.
When I boot freebsd from the ide drive, I can mount the scsi
drive partitions as /sd0a and /sd0a/usr
So, why can I not boot from the scsi drive?
Is the booter on the SCSI drive corrupted?
How do I re-install the booter back on the scsi drive?
Regards,
Joe
