I also have an IDE cdrom. The first hard disk has DOS/NT on it. I'd like to be able to boot freebsd from the boot floppy, or ideally, with a DOS program like loadlin ( which will boot linux from DOS ). How do I do this? I can't seem to figure out the device name of my second ide hard disk. And, given this info, how do I tell the boot disk to boot off that drive. Thanks! Stu Pomerantz
