Message-ID: <kjb.750477420@manda.cgl.citri.edu.au> Sender: news@etrog.se.citri.edu.au Organization: Collaborative Information Technology Research Institute Date: 13 Oct 93 01:57:00 GMT Lines: 15 I am about to get a 100Mb SCSI disk that I would like to install NetBSD onto. However I also have two IDE drives in my system (a WD 340M and a WD 120M), so it would be a third drive. Can I still get *BSD (or Linux for that matter) to boot of this drive, or would I need to put a small boot partition or something on my C: drive (the 340M) that would then boot off the SCSI? Thanks. +------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+ | Kendall Bennett | Internet: | | RMIT Advanced Computer Graphics Centre | kjb@citri.edu.au | | CITRI Building, 723 Swanston Street | rcskb@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au | | Carlton Victoria 3053 AUSTRALIA. | | +------------------------------------------+-------------------------------+
