The IDE-drive (wd0) is currently dedicated to DOS, and FreeBSD 2.1R is installed on the two SCSI-disks (sd0 and sd1). At first I had both sd0 and sd1 configured as dangerously dedicated, but I couldn't get the bootmanager to boot FreeBSD for me so I reinstalled, this time with the dangerously dedicated mode switched off. However, I still can't get the bootmanager to boot FreeBSD for me. Currently it doesn't even see the FreeBSD-disks. I guess this is what happens if neither of the SCSI-disks are active (bootable), but I'm absolutely sure that I marked sd0 as bootable when I last installed. I currently boot from floppy (with hd(1,a)/kernel), but that's not exactly fun! :-( Any clues? Thanks in advance! -- Daniel Eriksson, daniel@icon.pp.se
