I currently have BSD on my 400M master and linux on my 2.5G slave, and
am running the BSD bootloader. Why does it have options for both BSD
and linux (linux through the "other disk" option), but will only
recognize the F key that corresponds to BSD? (another symptom is that
it seems to be reading F2 and F3 as F4, and not reading F1 at all.
This actually happened also when I had Linux on the master and BSD on
the slave, except then it would only read F5 ("other disk"), and
wouldn't recognize the other F keys at all.
In case it matters, the 2.5G HD is a Maxtor 72700AP (with 5248
cylinders, which is why I can't install the Linux bootloader at all) and
my computer is a Gateway (with the programmable keyboard).
My life is sorrow. Help?
Thanks
JoshVermette.
