Recently I've totally reorganized my four-scsi-drive system. I previously used NT's loader, but I'm currently reworking thinks to try using System Commander. I've finally managed to bust through the evil Microsoft OSs and get them working, but now I'm stuck with getting FreeBSD boot. I've got FreeBSD installed on the 1st partition of my 3rd drive. I can boot off my floppy with "Boot: sd(2,a)/kernel", and when I disconnect my 1st two drives (scsi id 0 and 1), I can get a direct boot off the drive (Sys Cmdr is on drive 1, sd0). But when I put both my other drives back on line, I get "Read error" after selecting my FreeBSD menu-item in the System Commander popup. Does System Commander have any requirements for systems to boot off of the first two drives? Does FreeBSD have any requirements for systems to boot off of the first two drives? I'm frustrated having to muck with this low level stuff. I had hoped the process would be simpler by going to a "3rd-party/independent" software package (i.e., System Commander) and I have used it successfully in other situations. Thanks, John
