I have 3 hard drives.
PRIMARY CONTROLLER:
1) Master - 6.4 UDMA - FAT32 - Win98 Boot
2) Slave - 6.4 UDMA - FAT32 - Storage
SECONDARY CONTROLLER:
1) Master - 540meg - FreeBSD
2) 32x CDROM
Now when I installed freebsd, and install the bootmgr, I have tried installing it on the 540 megger, AND on the Master 6.4 (thinking that the machine would need the bootmgr on the MBR of the MAIN disk) and NOTHING works... it just basically boots straight into win98 every time. I have also set the 540meg and the master 6.4gig to BOOTABLE, before installing the bootmgr... (I install the Easy boot option) and nothing is working... its driving me nuts.. I get no menu, nothing, just as if I never installed Freebsd... am I missing something?
I think I remember reading a Unix or linux system has to be either on the master primary, or the master of the secondary disk controller... so that is how I have it setup... but it still won't work...
Please let me know how to set this up.. I can just boot off the floppy and do some post-configuration settings.
Thanks!
