Hi I have a problem booting the second disk with fbsd's boot manager. I installed a new disk as pri/master (ad0) and moved my old disk to sec/master (ad2). Then devided ad0 (40GB) with fbsd's fdisk in 10G (ufs) and 30G (fat) and installed FreeBSD 5.3 with a boot manager on the first 10G. When I boot the system I get: F1 FreeBSD (the fbsd on ad0s1) F2 DOS (the 30G fat, ad0s2) F5 Other (again the fbsd) So there is no option to boot from the second disk!? Allso when I unlplug ad0 or change the BIOS to boot from ad2 (hd1 as he sees it), WinXP boots just fine, meaning, there is no problem with the mbr on ad2. I read the man for boot0cfg, but I can't make heads or tails of ti!!! how do I configure/install the boo0 to show the second disk ni the boot menu?
