Rand) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: How to get NetBSD on the second IDE drive Date: 7 Sep 1993 15:55:47 -0500 Organization: University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND Lines: 24 Distribution: world Message-ID: <RAND.93Sep7155545@agassiz.cas.und.NoDak.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: agassiz.cas.und.nodak.edu I've successfully installed NetBSD-0.9 on the single drive in my system. Now what I'd like to do is add my other (DOS) disk to the system as the primary drive on the controller and make the NetBSD disk the slave. Currently what I do is switch the cables from the controller to the drive I want to boot. (Not very pretty.) I've goot Boot Easy installed on my DOS disk. I've also rebuilt the kernel with the line: config netbsd root on wd1 swap on wd1 I know about changing /etc/fstab to reference wd1 instead of wd0. But in the 386BSD FAQ it says something about changing the boot block. This I don't know how to do. What I do *not* want to happen is to set things up and have NetBSD go and decide to swap to wd0 when DOS is out there. Has anybody ever done this before? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -- Douglas K.
