I finally got the net install to work, it seemed, but now it doesn't want to boot. I installed and tried reinstalling a couple times with various configurations of the 2 scsi hd's aka: da0 with os and bsd boot loader da1 as secondary file system and standard mbr da1 with os and bsd boot loader da0 as secondary file system and standard mbr I've also tried leaving the mbr unchanged on the hd with the secondary file system. All these options either lead to a message that says "Operating System Missing" or just having the bootloader beep annoyingly at me. Now I have installed the boot loader on both disks. da1 has the tradition / and da0 has /fs2 (my secondary filesystem) It now beeps at me then says F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 Default: F5 and after a few seconds it goes to F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 Default: F5 and then it proceeds to alternate F5 Drive 0 and F5 Drive 1... I don't know how to troubleshoot this, I know the machine is an old IBM server, p75, 2 4g scsi hd's.. Please ask for any info we might need to troubleshoot.. I'm open to suggestions.. Might this be some sort of bios problem? Thanks for all your great suggestions! Jim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
