I'm sure either one will work. > Hi again, Earlier, with only one HDD and freeBSD only, I had this F1 showing up. But now, after having added a second HDD, there is no F1 at all. The loader just starts with some text about the loader itself, and finally there is a prompt. Now I boot Slackware on the second HDD by a diskette, but I think it would be nice to be able to choose the OS I want to boot in the loader menu. But how am I achieving this? I've read about boot, loader, loader.conf, but I'm not able to figure it out. 6/25/2002 3:56:18 PM, "Thomas Widlundh" <tw@ettnet.se> wrote: >>On my machine I have freeBSD on the first HDD and Slackware on the >>second. >>Can I somehow make the BSD Lilo to start the Slackware on disk 2 >>(/dec/hdb)? >>Should I let Slackware install its own lilo?
