I have a wd0 (with Linux on it) and sd0 (with Windows 95 on it). I have LILO (the Linux boot manager) installed on the MBR of wd0. Because I'm having trouble getting FreeBSD to boot from LILO, I want to boot from the FreeBSD installation boot floppy. At the "Boot:" prompt I typed hd(2,a)/kernel and it did seem to start booting from sd1, but after the initialization of devices I got an error about not being able to mount root on (from?) sd0. What magic do I need to boot 2.1.0 from sd1? Thanks. Kevin
