It's quite possible that you can't, depending on whether your BIOS supports drives beyond 0x81. If you want to try, make the following mods to to /sys/i386/boot/biosboot/boot.c : /***************************************************************\ * Boot from wd(2,a) instead. * \***************************************************************/ part = 0; unit = 2; drive = 0x82; maj = 0; loadstart: > Tim Kelley > > -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
