Im trying to install fBSD 5.4 onto a Maxtor N256 10GB hdd. I have
the hdd hooked up as a primary master, the cdrom as secondary
master. The cdrom is the 1st boot device & the hdd the second. When
I put in the fBSD firstdisk.iso into the CD, it finds the
hdd...installs the boot manager, partitions it & installs to the
point where it says "Congratulations". It asks me to enter some
config info. Everything looks good so far.
When I remove the cdrom and boot from the hdd i get " system disk
boot failure. Insert system drive"
thoughts?
Don't use "dangerously dedicated mode" if you are. Try using an MS-
DOS floppy or CD to create a small DOS partition, and double-check
whether you can boot to that. Then try installing FreeBSD in the
remaining space, and see whether that works better. Tweaking BIOS
settings, including LBA mode and/or downgrading from UDMA to PIO may
also help.
