Subject: can't start FreeBSD with Bootmanager from os/2
X-Newsreader: CrossPoint v3.11
Lines: 49

Hallo all

I have a problem with my FreeBSD and the Bootmanager (OS/2).

I have a 850MB IDE and a 1.2GB SCSI HDD connect at a Adaptec 2940.
It run's with DOS and OS/2. But now I have installed Free BSD, because it's  
better :-))

And now I have an big Problem with my HDD's

Here my Partitions :

First IDE-HDD 850MB
  2MB Bootmanager PRI
400MB DOS PRI
350MB DOS LOG

Second SCSI-HDD 1.2GB
250MB OS/2
450MB DOS(Games) LOG
530MB FreeBSD

Now, the problem is:

I can't boot from my IDE-HDD the FreeBSD-system, because I must switch off  
the switch in the Adaptec 2940 Bios dos>1GB. So my Bootmanager can't find the  
FreeBSD partition, because it is higher than 1GB.

I start my FreeBSD at this time, if I switch im my Bios the IDE-HDD off and  
start FreeBSD. If I will back to DOS I start DOS with a Startdisk and reset  
the Bootflag, then I boot new and can play with DOS.

This is not great :-((

Have anywhere an idea to help me ?




Sorry, i'm not a good english writer but I will lern it :-)
