This is not really important, but I just thought I'd ask for curiosity's sake. How does the FreeBSD boot loader determine the Operating System type of the Partitions it sees? I have to machines that dual boot between 2000 and FreeBSD with a single hard drive. When my laptop boots up I get a prompt something like: F1: Windows NT F2: FreeBSD But on my desktop I get: F1: ?? F2: FreeBSD Booting to the NTFS partition on the desktop works fine. I was just wondering how the boot loader decides to label the partition types. -- http://www.vcsa.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
