i have a 4G IDE drive with W95. i'm installing FBSD 2.2.2. everything goes OK, except the BootEasy doesn't recognize FBSD on my 2nd partition. it just gives me F? when i select F2.. i have all the correct CYL/HD/SEC numbers in the partition editor. i have the / partition below 504M. when the kernel boots (i boot the HD kernel via floppy boot prompt) the kernel probe for wd0 shows incorrect CYL/HD values. partion editor - 969/128/63 (correct) wd0 boot probe - 7752/16/63 (incorrect) i can boot to W95 (F1), and can boot the kernel in / via floppy. is there any way to force BootEasy to boot my kernel on the 2nd partition? i tired all the MBR tools, but all they do is re-write existing MBR's. please email me, as i'm not subscribed.
