Handy" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: IDE Questions Message-Id: X-Files: The truth is out there Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Trying to install 2.2- on a 486 with two IDE HD's. wd0 is a 540 MB drive running Win95. wd1 is a 2.4GB drive, with the following partitions: 1.0GB: Win95 1.4GB: FreeBSD I was able to install FreeBSD onto the second partition. I installed Booteasy on both drives, thinking I could use this to get to FreeBSD. I can't. Questions: (1) Can I have my bootable FreeBSD partition on the second drive? (2) Can I have a 1GB Win95 partition ahead in front of it? (3) Another problem. When I boot from the floppy, it probes the drives and finds them...sorta fine, but on wd1 I get something like: wd1: [bleah, XX b/s, etc...] wd1 not found at 0x340h (paraphrased, I don't remember the addr) I'm sorry about the gross lack of detail, I did this at a friend's house, wrote down the messages and then left the piece of paper there. I'm hoping something here will tell somebody enough to get me past this, I presume either #1 or #2 is a showstopper. Any hints, or do I need more detail? Thanks, Brian handy@sag.space.lockheed.com
