I have a machine which has a new IDE drive (1.6Gig Seagate). I installed 2.1.5 on it, and have encountered the following problem: Booteasy can find the drive, but it cannot reach the boot prompt. I get a booteasy prompt which looks like this: F1 ... BSD F5 ... Disk 2 (Disk 2 is a SCSI disk connected with a VLB Adaptec 2480 -- it works fine, and I can even boot off of it). If I press F1, it just pops back to the Booteasy prompt. If I press F5, it boots Disk 2 (which is FreeBSD, and will let me boot wd(0,a)/kernel to get to the FreeBSD on wd0). Has anyone seen this problem before? Could it have to do with cylinders > 1024 ? bryan k. ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> <bkogawa@netvoyage.net>
