(entire drive partitioned for BSD) During the install the boot disk recognized my Adaptec 1542b controler without any problems. The install completed without any hangups. However I cannot boot the BSD drive from floppy(or at all). I've tried using the Boot: HD(1,a)/kernel -- also tried (2,a),(0,a) ect... I am using the Western Digital Disk Manager on the 1.2G IDE due to the Dos limitation of 1024 cyls, but this does not limit me when I boot from a floppy. I have Win95 on the 1st and 2nd disk along with Linux. The 3rd disk will be devoted to FreeBSD. Thanks for any help Tim Broyles tmb@soli.inav.net
