in lilo just make it point to not say /dev/hdb1 but /dev/hdb (which is MBR basically, it might complain but it shoudl work and make sure hdb is marked as active.) also you might need to have an option that says somethign along the lines of loader=/boot/chain.b (I don't use that option, but I hear sometimes u have to have it.) Right now I have lilo booting from hdb then it either from there boots Win95 on hda or boots FBSD on hda also. --- www.nul.cjb.net --- The Power to Crash --- www.FreeBSD.org --- The Power to Serve -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of erich alfred heine Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2000 3:00 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Installing to secondary hdd Hi all, I am wanting to install freebsd on my secondary hard disk. If i do this, can I just put the freebsd loader on that disk's MBR and have lilo point to it? If I can do that, does anyone know how to set up lilo that way? Also, when it comes time to get rid of linux on my primary disk and make it into free space, can I just switch the secondary disk to the primary disk, and vice versa, since the secondary disk's MBR has the freebsd loader on it? or would I need to change anything (besides the jumpers on the hard drives and the cables).
