I have 3 hard drives.
PRIMARY CONTROLLER:
1) Master - 6.4 UDMA - FAT32 - Win98 Boot
2) Slave - 6.4 UDMA - FAT32 - Storage
SECONDARY CONTROLLER:
1) Master - 540meg - FreeBSD
2) 32x CDROM
Now when I installed freebsd, and install the bootmgr, I have tried =
installing it on the 540 megger, AND on the Master 6.4 (thinking that =
the machine would need the bootmgr on the MBR of the MAIN disk) and =
NOTHING works... it just basically boots straight into win98 every time. =
I have also set the 540meg and the master 6.4gig to BOOTABLE, before =
installing the bootmgr... (I install the Easy boot option) and nothing =
is working... its driving me nuts.. I get no menu, nothing, just as if I =
never installed Freebsd... am I missing something?
I think I remember reading a Unix or linux system has to be either on =
the master primary, or the master of the secondary disk controller... so =
that is how I have it setup... but it still won't work...
Please let me know how to set this up.. I can just boot off the floppy =
and do some post-configuration settings.
Thanks!
