I'm trying to install FreeBSD to my 2nd harddrive (due to hw/sw
config limitations). I'm able to install the kcopy_ah &
filesyst floppies but when I try to boot from that partition
using BOOTEASY, it looks as if the kernel is trying to go to
wd0a and not wd1a. I've looked thru the FAQ's and it looks as
if I need to modify and recompile the kernel. Is this the only
way to fix this? Is there something new in the V2 code that I
should just wait? This is my 1st attempt at Unix and I don't
feel too comfortable recompiling a kernel.
Thanks for any help!!!!!!!
