(Don't know if Stefan is on -current, so quoted in full.) * Date: Wed, 5 Nov 1997 14:53:15 -0600 (CST) * From: Geoff Mohler <gemohler@tgn2.tgn.net> * * Hello: * * Here is the basic setup that I have here: * Tyan S1680S Tahoe, Pentium II 266, 128MB * Adaptec 2940UW pci slot 1, Seagate ST19171W dos C: * Adaptec 2940UW pci slot 2, Seagate ST19171W dos D: * * The problem is, that the machine sees "C:" as 80h, and when you install * FreeBSD, it writes the / partition and the other partitions destined for * SD0 to that wrong drive..DOS drive "D:", or 81h * * When you boot, the BIOS attempts to boot from 80h "C:", and of course * there is no filesystem there, and you get "No Operating System" error. * * Why are FreeBSD and the system BIOS mapping different drives to be the * boot drive? I don't know why, Stefan will probably tell you (and even fix it) if you send him a boot -v output. In the meantime, you can probably get around it by disabling the SCSI BIOS on the first Adaptec (so it won't be registered as "80h", or "C:", or whatever). Satoshi
