I cant't get FreeBSD to boot following a win98 upgrage. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I had a perfectly working FreeBSD setup with Windows95. My system has three hard disks: 1 internal eide (3GB), 1 internal fast&wide scsi (4.2GB), and an external scsi (2GB). My FreeBSD installation is on its own external hard disk. Everything worked fine until I upgraded my system to Windows98. During that upgrade I also upgraded one of my internal hard diske from a 2GB eide disk to a 4.2GB fast&wide scsi disk. All internal disks were reformatted and a fresh Windows98 installation was successfully done. Now all I want to do is get access to my external hard disk with FreeBSD on it. I followed your instructions to reinstall easyboot, but easy boot can't seem to find FreeBSD. Luckily I can still boot to Windows98 by pressing return, but nothing I do allows me to boot to FreeBSD. All I get is the F?? prompt. Please let me know if I can get my FreeBSD installation to boot following a Windows98 installation and a hard disk change. I hope and pray that I won't have to completely reinstall FreeBSD. It took me weeks to get FreeBSD all configured and networked with my other computers. I would hate to have to go through all that again.
