I'm having a small problem with Windows + 2.2.7 happily coexisting. Here's the situation: 1. IDE Master 1.2G Win98 2. IDE Slave 2.1 FreeBSD-2.2.7 I can't for the life of me get booteasy to *stay* on the 1.2 with Win98. I've tried installing it from FreeBSD and from DOS. What happens is that the system will let me boot from the Master drive 1 time and 1 time only. I get the boot prompt, something to the effect of: F1 ??? F5 FreeBSD I enter F5 and get F1 FreeBSD F5 Disk2 I enter F1 and get FreeBSD, just like I should. Problem is that if for some reason or another the machine is rebooted I get this: Warning: Couldn't find any active partitions on drive whatever... (It is referring to the 1.2 Win98 drive) So... I can go into Fdisk every time and mark the partition active, but this doesn't seem like a real solution to me. Also, it's worth noting that the FreeBSD drive used to live all alone in this machine. It was moved from Master to Slave on the primary controller because Microsoft products refuse to boot from anything but the primary master. Anyhow, If anyone has any ideas I'd really like to hear them. Thanks much, Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
