Date: 10 May 1996 01:45:16 GMT Organization: University of California, Davis Lines: 22 Message-ID: <4mu73c$j6n@mark.ucdavis.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: golf.engr.ucdavis.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.22 (Windows; I; 32bit) Hi, I have done a network install of freeBSD 2.1 on my system but screwed up the boot manager portion (i.e. all the files are there, but I can't boot freeBSD). Do I have to do a re-install or is it possible to just to the boot manager part. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the information about this stuff again. Oh, I have a fairly unusual configuration. I have a small (250M) drive as my C: drive (or drive 0 if you perfer) with DOS/WIN and a 1G drive with FreeBSD as the D: drive (the C: is of course the master and bootable, whereas D: is jumpered as slave). I thought I remembered reading that the Boot Manager would allow this configuration, but cannot find it again. Any help would be appreciated. P.S. If the advice is to look in the FAQ or read the FreeBSD handbook, could you refer to the particular section that is supposed to contain the material? Thanks again. - Mike mdwhite@ucdavis.edu
