I have come across a problem after I installed 2.1-960627-SNAP.
Here is the background. I have two drives wdo and wd1. Used OS/2 Warp
fdisk to partition the drives. Drive wd0 has Win3.1, OS/2 partition and a
data partition. Drive wd1 has a DOS ( FAT ) partition, two different
partitions for BSD. I use OS/2 Boot Manager because it works quite well
for me.
Before I installed 2.1-960627-SNAP in one of the partitions on drive wd1
I had successfully installed 2.1.0 in its own partition on drive wd1. OS/2
Warp Boot Manager still shows
DOS (fat)
2.1.0
2.1-960627-SNAP
as the three partitions on drive wd1.
But the problem is when I select 2.1.0 or 2.1-960627-SNAP in Boot Manager
menu it always loads 2.1-960627-SNAP (the one I installed last)
irrespective of which one I select.
Is this a bug? Or is this a limitation of FreeBSD? Or I have to do
something special to have two versions of FreeBSD coexist on the same
physical drive but in two different partitions.
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks
chetty.
