I have a P90 with 3 hard drives (SCSI ID 0,1,2). I have 2 1 Gb FAT
partitions on the first HD (A HP SureStore 2000 model C3725S), and
FreeBSD 2.1 on ID 1 & 2. I want to install the FreeBSD bootmanager
on the HP. However, the FreeBSD install program doesn't see sd0, it
just sees sd1 and sd2, so I cannot install the boot manager on the
first disk (I have to use a boot floppy to boot FreeBSD). I've tried
this with FreeBSD 2.1.5 as well, is there some kind of incompatability
between the HP SureStore C3725S and FreeBSD ? Win95 and DOS have
no problems with the drive...
