I'm having some mail problems, so I hope you are getting my mail. The tekram BIOS is a utility to set the boot disk and other configuration options for the scsi devices. Everything seems to work ok on the disks. I have the W2K on the first partition of one of the drives in NTFS (6.8gb) and the other partition (logical, I believe) is FAT. But, I notice that no configurations work for grub that list both the primary particion and the logical one - like (hd0,0,a) nor (hd0,a) - anyway it refuses the NTFS.... I guess there are no gurus out there for grub - on W2K-Pro, scsi and Tekram :-( At 05:41 PM 5/18/2002 -0400, you wrote: >5/18/2002 9:41:55 AM, "P.

What does the Tekram BIOS do >besides give you a boot option? No coffe or donuts... :)) - I'll have to check more closely, but I don't think that would affect anything. I have tried to configure the boot.ini on W2K to find the FreeBSD disk, but could never get it right. Theoretically, it should work...
