Hey gang, one of the machines here has two IDE disks, one with win98, the other with 4.2-STABLE. I ran into a snag on my machine which prevented me from installing the boot loader at install time. So, only way to boot FreeBSD is to tell the BIOS to boot directly off the 2nd drive. Clumsy but it worked for now. I want to change this and restore sanity. Now, I need to build a boot floppy which can do enough stuff to install a FreeBSD boot loader instead of the Win98 MBR on the first drive after booting off the floppy. My FreeBSD skills are a little rusty, and I need some help. So, how do I do this? Can somebody please send me a procedure or a pointer to a doc which describes how to do this? Thanks in advance, Chris -- Christian Kuhtz <ck@arch.bellsouth.net> -wk, <ck@gnu.org> -hm Sr. Architect, Engineering & Architecture, BellSouth.net, Atlanta, GA, U.S. "I speak for myself only."
