What can I do ? you may have installed the boot manager on the new disk ONLY. at boot do you get a little menu ala: F1 FreeBSD F5 second disk (forget the exact wording) if not, then the boot manager is not installed on the first disk. if you do get the menu, hit <F5> and then select FreeBSD from the menu. installing the boot manager on the old disk is not hard, but i always read the man page 5 times and cringe when i do that, so i will let someone else (who is more comfortable) give you instructions. <cluck> <cluck> <cluck> Jonathan M.
