After reading through several FAQs, mail messages, and the like I tried to make FreeBSD boot off of my second hard drive (which is a SCSI drive, the first being an IDE drive) by modifying the code in /usr/sys/src/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c (if I remember the path correctly). Well I changed the line that said part = unit = 0; to part = 0; unit = 1; I then did a make in that directory, a make install, and then did a disklabel -B sd0. I got an error from disklabel saying that the drive was 0 revolutions and 0 something else, but I disregarded them because I am currently running from sd0. Well after rebooting the boot program gives me an error like: bad boot blocks:can't find /kernel I can still boot using "hd(1,a)/kernel" but was wondering if there was a way to fix the error? Did I do the above procedure correctly? Thanks for any help, Mark Bynum bynum@cs.fsu.edu
