>Number: 13547 >Category: i386 >Synopsis: FreeBSD will not boot after installing to /wd3 when /wd2 is a CD/DVD-ROM >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Thu Sep 2 14:50:01 PDT 1999 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Pat Wendorf >Release: 3.4-Stable 99/08/04 >Organization: Bayview Computers >Environment: Not important >Description: OS will install fine, but not boot up when there is a CD-ROM *before* the hard drive on a secondary IDE chain. It dies on boot saying that it can't mount /dev/wd1 (which is a CD-ROM, not my secondary harddrive) >How-To-Repeat: Get 2 HDD's and 2 CD-ROM's (my config). Set up the primary IDE chain as (1)HDD (2)CD-ROM, and the secondary chain as (1)HDD (2)CD-ROM. Then install BSD on the second hard drive /wd3 >Fix: Put both Hard drives on the Primary IDE chain, and both CD-ROM's on the secondary chain. PS: Had to buy a new chasis case to do this :~( >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
