X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.72 [en] (Win95; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: how to set Freebsd boot bisk as secondary drive Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Using FreeBSD 3.4.0 I have initially set up FreeBSD as my boot disk but now I have set DOS as my boot disk - and FreeBSD as my second. I installed bootinst on both drives. When booting from FreeBSD (throught boot manager) on the 2nd drive - I get config errors because boot wants to see wd0 not wd1. So I reset up my fstab file, changing the / mount from wd0s1a to wd1a (there is no wd1s1a in /dev). I did similar to the /usr, /var and swap file systems. It still gives me an error that it does not recognize /dev/wd1a to do it's initial mount. I have looked at the boot procedure and I get the feeling it's having it's problem executing the command "fsck -p" located in /etc/rc. Any one that can help me here - it would be great - thanks..
