Date: 7 Feb 1997 03:33:35 GMT Organization: NeoSoft, Inc. Lines: 15 Message-ID: <5de7qf$glf@uuneo.neosoft.com> Reply-To: conrads@neosoft.com NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.27.167.108 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Newsreader: knews 0.9.8 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:35115 After reading some threads here recently about using fbsdboot to help with Plug-and-Play hardware, I'm very anxious to try it (hoping I might finally get my sound card to work this way). Typing fbsdboot -? under DOS, I get the impression that the kernel must be located on a DOS partition. Is this correct? Or is there a way to tell fbsdboot to use a kernel on another (totally FreeBSD) drive? My system has two drives; wd0 is one large DOS partition, wd1 is one large BSD partition. It would be great if I could get fbsdboot to load the kernel from the second drive, if possible. -- Conrad Sabatier http://www.neosoft.com/~conrads
