I am installing freeBSD on a second hard disk and am not able to boot it after installation. I run linux on the second partition on the first disk and boot it, and dos/widnows(first part of first drive) with lilo on the MBR. When I use BootEasy it reports one dos, and a ?, which wont boot. likely becuase it is a large drive. does anyone know haw to make lilo boot FreeBSD? or is there a way to boot a root filesystem with a floppy ? or is there anything that could be done so that boot easy can find my drives and boot all the operating systems install? _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ | |/ || -_|\`\/\/'/| |_ |_- || | _| | ___________________________________ | < |___| `\/\/' |___||_,_||_|| _ || | |_|\_| gandersn@puc.net |___|| The opinions expressed (Which may | ~~~~ ~~~~ | contain ideas that will kill your | Copywrite (C) 1997, Dennis Anderson | faith in god) are those of the | All rights reserved | participant and don'tnecessarily | | reflectthose of the accountholder.| any reproduction what so ever is a | If you want your own opinion ask | violation of said copyright and may | me for one | be punishable by DEATH from |___________________________________| **************** Please destroy this sig when replying *******************
