This is what I have : Primary IDE = HD master, cd slave Secondary IDE = HD master, no slave The first HD is freeBSD bootable and I'm putting a second installation onto HD2 with a full partition ( to eventually move everything to from the first disk) What would be the correct (default) name for the secondary IDE HD? Is it wd1 or wd2? The 'fdisk' utility in freeBSD defaults it to wd2. So that in the slice editor I have options to partition wd0 and wd2 but no wd1. However when I try to boot from HD2 (after hitting F5) the boot uses wd1a and then I get the 'Panic can't mount root' problem. I try putting wd(2,a) but this totally hangs. Any ideas? Is it true that the CD needs to be configured bootable and not slave? -- paul@nation-net.com Walsh Simmons 0161-839 9337 Manchester, UK
