Hi there,

I've got a pentium with a IDE primary and SCSI secondary.  I've installed
FBSD 2.1 on the extended partition of my SCSI drive.  I cannot get BOOTEASY
to install properly so I've been using " boot: hd(1,a)/kernel ".

I tried to use os-bs beta that came with the FBSD cdrom and was able to
install it but it is trying to change the root device to sd1 rather than
sd0 after it loads the kernel.  I've tied recompiling the kernel with 
config root on sd0 but no luck. I've run out of ideas.  

I would even be happy of I could make a boot floppy that would point to sd0
but I don't know how.

Can someone help?


btw: I've got WIN95 on wd0, and I would like to keep it in tact.


Thanks in advance
