Subject: can't start FreeBSD with Bootmanager from os/2
X-Newsreader: CrossPoint v3.11
Lines: 49
Hallo all
I have a problem with my FreeBSD and the Bootmanager (OS/2).
I have a 850MB IDE and a 1.2GB SCSI HDD connect at a Adaptec 2940.
It run's with DOS and OS/2. But now I have installed Free BSD, because it's
better :-))
And now I have an big Problem with my HDD's
Here my Partitions :
First IDE-HDD 850MB
2MB Bootmanager PRI
400MB DOS PRI
350MB DOS LOG
Second SCSI-HDD 1.2GB
250MB OS/2
450MB DOS(Games) LOG
530MB FreeBSD
Now, the problem is:
I can't boot from my IDE-HDD the FreeBSD-system, because I must switch off
the switch in the Adaptec 2940 Bios dos>1GB. So my Bootmanager can't find the
FreeBSD partition, because it is higher than 1GB.
I start my FreeBSD at this time, if I switch im my Bios the IDE-HDD off and
start FreeBSD. If I will back to DOS I start DOS with a Startdisk and reset
the Bootflag, then I boot new and can play with DOS.
This is not great :-((
Have anywhere an idea to help me ?
Sorry, i'm not a good english writer but I will lern it :-)
Ciao
