Except I have to be there to boot it. The reason for that is, whenever it comes up, instead of going to the correct drive to get the kernel (at the boot: prompt), I have to press F5, then F1, to get to a prompt. THen it wants to goto ID 1 to boot. I want it to goto ID 0. I have configured everything I have found, installed 3 seperate types of FreeBSD, and various partition configurations, with no avail. As well as recompileing the kernel, makeing sure the 'root on sd0' etc etc is all setup correctly. The closest solution I can find listed anywhere, is how the partitioning is done with the sectors. I've tried many different partition configs, with the same result. Can I atleast, at the minimum, create a boot-floppy to auto-load the correct kernel? Or is there prehaps a place I can go to force the bootloader to look on a certain drive to boot? It's just sd0a/kernel, so it should be finding it by default. Thanks, and I apprechiate any help someone could provide.. jpm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
