Summary : I 'm having some kind of reboot problem like after a FreeBSD boot it = passivates the Primary DOS partition on Pri-IDE Master Drive so that i = cannot boot up the next time. I never had such a problem on the same = state before.=20 The story: I have 2 harddisks, 20GB Quantum on Pri-IDE Master and 3.2GB Quantum on = Sec-IDE Master. I also have a 32X Pioneer CD-Rom Drive attached on = Sec-IDE Slave. The Pri-IDE Slave is free. The 20GB Harddisk is partitioned into 3 on a Win98 system with approx. = 10GB C: , 6GB D:, and 4GB E: drives. The 3.2GB Harddisk is a complete FreeBSD 4.1 system with some MBs of = Swap (for ex. 256MB) and the rest is a file system ( / ). The procedure i follow on installing both OS : First i install the Win98 OS on to C: and then i boot up from my FreeBSD = 4.1 CD and make the FreeBSD 4.1 OS install. After the FreeBSD = installation I reboot to run FreeBSD and the boot manager respectively = displays=20 F1 Windows=20 F5 Drive 1=20 so that i hit F5 and=20 F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 and then i hit F1 this time and boot up the FreeBSD system. Everything = seems to be working fine now until i shutdown and/or reboot to run = either Windows 98 or FreeBSD 4.1. And here comes the problem : It cannot find the active partition resulting with a disk boot failure. = This makes me fdisk with a Win98 or FreeBSD boot disk and reactivate the = C: drive and restart. This time it boots from Win98 but if i choose to = boot from FreeBSD then the same problem occurs. Its like booting the = FreeBSD pasivates the C: . Any comments? 2. An additional question i would like to ask since i have stated the = Harddisk details above. I have no problem on mounting C: with the = command mount_msdos /dev/wd0s1 /mnt but i don't know how to mount DOS (actually Windows 98 FAT32) drives D: = and E: . What is the procedure i should follow ? Thanks very much.
