Subject:   Configuring boot0 to boot from the second drive
Message-ID:  <20071116003759.GA14371@real.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have a very old FreeBSD box (3.3). It has three disks installed. When boot0
comes up, I get the usual "F1 for this disk, F5 for the next drive".

Every time it reboots, I always have to do F5 then F1 to boot the correct drive.
Unfortunately, this makes automatic restarts in the event of a power hiccough
(an all too common occurrence around here) not restart correctly. Is there some
way I can *persuade* boot0 to always go to the second drive, first bootable
section? If so, please enlighten me, I pray. Thank you, very much. :-)
