Sorry for the multiple posts. I am trying to get the machine up as a demo at our
annual showcase of security products (Firewall-1, Novell Border Manager etc) and I
am rather desperate!!!
The boot.config file did not appear to help, I put the line
1:sd(0,a)kernel
in the file and placed the file in / with the permissions 644 root.wheel.
The machine still thinks it is booting off 1:sd(1,a)kernel, but as I have said I
can type the line in at boot: and it will boot OK, but it would be very useful to
us to have it boot automatically.
I have also tried putting the following in the kernel config file.
"config kernel root on sd0
controller scbus0 at ahc0
device sd0 at scbus0 target 0 unit 0"
and rebuilt the kernel.
My configuration is
Disk 1: 2GB IDE ("wd0") Windows NT
Disk 2: 500MB Seagate SCSI (sd0) on PCI Adaptec SCSI controller (ahc0) with
FreeBSD
