Hi,
Trying to install 2.2-<Mumble August Snap from CD?> 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
