>Description:
My 40G EIDE has 4 partitions:
1 32M for Linus /boot
2 32M for FreeBSD /boot
3 18G for FreeBSD (swap, /, /usr, /var, /home)
4 19G (ext type) for Linux (swap, /, /usr, ...)
BSD Booteasy is installed in MBR. When I reboot PC, I have the
following:
F1 Linux
F2 FreeBSD
F3 FreeBSD
Default: F2
Invalid Partition
Invalid Partition
No /boot/loader
>How-To-Repeat:
reboot PC
>Fix:
>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
Invalid Partition
No /kernel
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
Then it hangs there.
F1 key for boot Linux is working fine. I want F2 working and I do
not need to see F3 key. But F3 can boot BSD.
Here are some print out:

So, how can I config BOOTEASY to that F2 key would work and no F3
key shown up.
Thanks,
