Hello, Is there any way to boot FreeBSD when it is installed on the third of 4 1 Gig partitions on my SCSI HD? Is there any solution yet? I've Win95 and WinNT on the first 2, FreeBSD 2.2.1 on the 3rd (but can't boot), and Linux on the 4th. I installed BootEasy, but it is useless. I have to do a floppy boot for Linux. Will I be reduced to the same for FreeBSD? Someone once explained the technical reasons why it was difficult or impossible (at that time) to boot from such a partition, but I still haven't been able to find it in the archives. The search tool either returns too many matches to be of any use or not enough. (I wish it a "phrase search" feature, as well as "before" and "after" versions of the AND boolean.) Thanks! Aaron out.
