I added root partition 32MB, then a DOS partition of 2GB and after that another FreeBSD partition. Don't know, though, in which order the partitions were created. I was using sysinstall for this. Anyway, now when I try to boot FreeBSD on the second disk (via bootinst menu F2->F5) I'm getting that infamous Error: C: 1026 > 1023 (BIOS limit) and the boot process stops. This happens after the FreeBSD primary boot has appeared and after the Boot default: 1:wd(1,a)kernel boot: Error: C: 1026 > 1023 (BIOS limit) I always thought at that point FreeBSD has taken over the control of the boot process and the BIOS isn't in the game anymore. -- Chris Christoph P.
