Easy question to anyone who might have the answer. I have FreeBSD on a
540 IDE drive with boot manager. I also have a 2.2 gig scsi with win95
on it. Is there a way to modify the boot manager to tell it to either
boot wd0 or sc0? I have yet to figure this one out. I know if the IDE
had another partition with dos on it, I could do that but I want 2
different drives to boot from.  I also know linx's LILO can be modified
to do this sort of boot up...

Thanks....evelez@netgate.net
