MS-DOS does not support being booted from anything other than BIOS disk 0x80 (the first disk in the system). I believe that a number of boot managers (eg. System Commander) support working around this defect. Alternatively, you can try patching the boot record at the beginning of the MS-DOS partition by hand - search for 0x80, and replace with 0x81. Do it one at a time; there are likely to be several 0x80 bytes, but only one is of interest. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
