Message-ID: <Cx5qB6.2ur@sun2.iusb.indiana.edu> Sender: usenet@sun2.iusb.indiana.edu (USENET poster) Nntp-Posting-Host: sun1.iusb.indiana.edu Organization: Indiana University South Bend Distribution: usa Date: Tue, 4 Oct 1994 16:40:18 GMT Lines: 11 Well, I plan to buy a second PC to be a dedicated FreeBSD box, but for now it is installed on a slave hard drive on my current machine. It appears that you can not boot from a slave, so I need a boot disk until I can put it in a computer where it will be the master. Any suggestions? Thanks! -- hrowe@sun1.iusb.indiana.edu | Harry Rowe | Finger for PGP Public Key PS: All I have right now is the minimum install, because you seem to have to boot from the HDD to finish the rest of the installation. Maybe If i type something at that first prompt on disk #1 i can boot from the HDD (wd1). Thanks again.
