I set up the booteasy, and installed freebsd as the 2nd drive on the
controller, with the win95 drive the 1st. So now win95 boots great, but
when I press F5 to switch to the boot manager on the 2nd disk (the freebsd
one) and then press F1 to boot freebsd, it doesn't boot. Just repompts me:
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Disk 1
I *KNOW* FreeBSD will boot as the 2nd hard drive because if I stick the
install bootable floppy into the floppy drive, and type wd(1,a)/kernel at
the boot prompt it boots it just fine. Also if I install the freebsd disk
as the only disk in the system it begins booting (and understandibly has
major errors since it is supposed to be the 2nd drive in the system, but
it DOES begin booting). I know I'm close to cracking this case wide open,
but I need some help from the experts around here :)
