Have installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 on my PC and have 2 (at least) problems. 1. After the FreeBSD booting sequence there is a request for LOGIN and PASSWORD. I have no idea what I should enter. The PC is not on a network. I have tried several entries, i.e. guest, blank, anonymous, etc, nothing has worked so far. Any ideas?? 2. There are two hard disk drives on the system. Both use the same IDE port with one being configured as the master, the other as the slave. One disk is loaded with Windows 95, the other with FreeBSD. I am unable to select which disk to boot from at startup. The only way I can make a choice is to manually configure the disk I want to boot from as the master. When I boot from the FreeBSD disk, I seem to have the option of booting from disk1 or disk2 (by pressing F1 or F5). However,whichever PF key I press the system boots from the FreeBSD disk (disk1)! I would like to have the system set up so I could boot into either FreeBSD or Windows 95. I am new to unix and FreeBSD so I may have overlooked something that is incredibly obvious to someone with experience. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
