Ziegler) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Unable to boot FreeBSD partition Date: Fri, 05 Jul 1996 10:29:40 GMT Organization: TZ-Link, a public-access online community in Nyack, NY. Lines: 19 Message-ID: <4riqs0$b3s@tzlink.j51.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: wolfden.j51.com X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 I've recently installed FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE in a multi-OS environment and can't get FreeBSD to boot. I have Windows NT installed on the first hard drive, and FreeBSD on the second. If the second hard drive is active, I get a NO ROM BASIC error message immediately at boot. If the NT partition is active, I can boot NT with the NT boot manager just fine, but if I select the FreeBSD drive, the system crashes. I can access the FreeBSD drive only by starting with a FreeBSD boot disk and selecting wd(1,a)/kernel. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, --Dave dziegler@j51.com --- Dave Ziegler dziegler@j51.com
