Hi,

I want to use my whole second drive for 386bsd. Recently I found
a tool that enables me to select a partition from first OR second
drive to boot from.
So I wonder if it is possible to boot 386bsd from second drive ---
and if not: is somebody working on a solution ?
Is 'boot the first drive and mount the second one' the only
alternative ?

Thanks in advance,
			Marius.
