Hello,
I have a Compaq ProLiant 400, that i'm using as a fileserver.
(FreeBSD balder.home.swe 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May 8
10:21:06 UTC 2005
root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386)
It has a scsi-disk (da0) and two ide-disks, ad0 (at ata0-master) and ad2
(at ata1-master).
da0 contains the system, ad0 and ad2 is just for storage.
The problem is that the bios doesn't allow me to boot directly to da0. I
solve this by having a MBR on ad0, the problem is that it tries to find
a loader on the ad0 which is wrong, and i get a error message that says
"Invalid partition". Then I get a boot-prompt and if i write
"1:da(0,a)/boot/loader" it boots correctly.
Upon booting i get:
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1
Default: F1
Invalid partition
FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader
boot: Invalid partition
No /boot/loader
FreeBSD/i368 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader
boot: 1:da(0,a)/boot/loader (i write this)
After this it boots correct.
How do i get the bootloader to boot 1:da(0,a)/boot/kernel directly?
With regards Carl Gustavsson
