Date: 19 Mar 1996 23:56:43 GMT Organization: Nethelp Consulting, Trondheim, Norway Lines: 14 Message-ID: <4inhjr$b4@verdi.nethelp.no> NNTP-Posting-Host: trane.uninett.no I just bought my "dream disk" - a 4 GB Barracuda. It's installed as SCSI target 1 on my P133, and the controller is a Asus SC200 (NCR810). I also have a Conner IDE disk as my wd0, and currently boot from that. I'm running 2.1R. Now I would like to boot from the Barracuda. How can I do that? I have the "standard" setup with booteasy, and one DOS and one FreeBSD partition on my wd0. The SCSI disk is partitioned and newfs'ed. According to the boot message, I should be able to boot from sd0 by typing hd(1,a)/kernel, but unfortunately it doesn't work - it always boots from wd0. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
