Recently installed 2.2.5 from CD. Everything installed great, except that it didn't bootstrap the drive, and now I can't figure out how to. Booting from a floppy and giving the "sd(0,a)kernel" option at the boot prompt works like a charm, but I would love to get that floppy out of the drive. Originally the setup consisted of two SCSI drives. SCSI IDs 0, 2 and a CDrom on 6. I disconnected SCSI id 2 drive, placed a new one on SCSI id 3, and installed freebsd as well as the MBR option on the drive using SCSI id 3. I removed the drive using SCSI id 0, rejumpered the new fresh install to SCSI id 0, and reconnected the drive on SCSI id 2 (previously disconnected). Attempted to boot the system only to see a wonderful "Operating System Not Found" message from my bios. Through in a floppy, booted the kernel and root fs on SCSI id 0 and tada, it worked. Any help would be appreciated. If I've managed to over complicate matters in this email, let me know that too. I wasn't sure what all information would help determine the problem. -- Edward Roper <eroper@wanfear.com> WANfear http://www.wanfear.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
