thanks to all so far.. and now. two IDE drives 1HD primary master CD primary slave 2HD secodary master put bsd on HD2 said couldn't mount root - rebooting added root_disk_unit="2" to loader.conf hoping to point to HD2 now says changing root device to wd2s2a changing root device to wd2a right after one another to load bsd on the second HD, I have had to to disconnect the normal HD1... with this things work fine with a single HD but still can't mount root with both HD's connected. Looking at HD2 (while it is the only one installed) I see using a 'df' things like /dev/ws0s2a / If I am reading this correctly, doens't that say that the root is on the 1st and only HD zero ? If that is the case.. I would think that I would need to have both HD's connected when I loaded bsd from the CD-ROM.. but, when I try that, I only show HD1. sure don't want to blow that off (Win98) and my email/word processor stuff. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? Thanks as usual. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
