They are on two separate disks. Bearing in mind that at any single moment, there is only one "boot sector" loaded in memory and running, you'll find it easy to understand that you need a `loader' on both disks. > I installed dos first them freebsd.

Then, your ad0 menu will look like: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 2 Hitting F5 will load BootEasy from the second disk and you'll see: F1 DOS F5 Drive 1 > How do I configure booteasy? To install BootEasy on both disks, boot FreeBSD and run as root: # boot0cfg -v -B /dev/ad0 # boot0cfg -v -B /dev/ad2 - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
