Hi, I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 in the 2nd partition of my 3rd HD(2nd master). I installed the boot manager, but it does not do anything when booting from HD (1st master). Do I have to install the boot manager on the 1st master? If yes, how? Currently I am using the setup floppy to boot and enter "2:wd(2,a)kernel" at the initial prompt to mount the system from HD. I came up with this parameter after trying a few combinations. Can anyone explain the parameters a bit more elaborately than that one screen help? Thanks. --- M Shariful Anam <shuman@annexgrp.org> Annex Group, Bangladesh We hack to learn!
