I use the FreeBSD boot manager which comes with the system.
Is there a difference between the one that sysinstall
installs and the one in the tools directory of a installation cdrom?
Anyway, I put the 40GB drive as Master at the end of the cable and the 2GB drive as Slave in the middle (everything jumpered).
I also read the C/H/S values from the drive cases.
Installation was ok (the 40GB shows up as ad2, the 2GB as ad3). But the boot prompt showed
F1: ??? (refers to XP I guess) F2: FreeBSD
F1 didn't do anything (except blanking some characters on the screen).
F2 came up with a "no kernel 0:ad(0,a)/kernel" or so message.
And in the bloody bios I have to set the hd type to 'none', using 'auto' nor 'user' with C/H/S lead to a hang.
So I am close to buy a new mobo this evening.
