My system has 2 IDE hard drives and a Jaz Drive (Scsi id #4) connected to an Adaptec 1510 ISA SCSI card (no bios). I use OS/2 and NT boot managers on the IDE drives and don't want to get FreeBSD 2.1.6 involved with that. I installed 2.1.6 to the Jaz drive from cd but now I dont know how to boot to it! I want to have a BSD boot disk that will point to the Jaz drive automatically. I have tried various combos of 0:sd(0,a)/kernal but with no luck. I have gone through the web faqs but everything I found assumed you already had access to bsd. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance... Damon Grace
