It seems it is impossible for FreeBSD to : boot from the second hard drive. Also, how can I install the FreeBSD : boot loader to its own partition? Is there anyway I can specify where : to install the bootloader like LILO for linux? Thanks. There is a program "fbsdboot" in the FreeBSD CDROM. It is a DOS program which can load FreeBSD into memory just like "linload" in Linux. It should be able to load FreeBSD from slave harddisk. Does anyone know how to use it to specify the kernel on slave disk? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chen-Kow Yuan Computer Science Department, University of Southern California E-mail: ckyuan@usc.edu URL : http://www-scf.usc.edu/~ckyuan, http://www.ccit.edu.tw/cs/teacher/yuan Tel : (310)6188484 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
