Date: Sun, 15 Sep 1996 19:29:21 -0400 Organization: MindSpring Enterprises Lines: 25 Message-ID: <323C9151.41C67EA6@mindspring.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: user-168-121-25-139.dialup.mindspring.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Server-Date: 15 Sep 1996 19:23:50 GMT X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386) Say, I had to re-install WINNT on sd0, while I had FBSD 2.1.5R on sd1. I was using OSBS to boot from sd0 or sd1 (WINNT or FBSD). After re-installing WINNT on sd0, I can no longer boot sd1 FBSD using OSBS. I must use a floppy. Can some kind sole go through the requirements for setting up the disklabel on the second disk and account for why it will not longer boot. Did the boot prompt for FBSD actually reside on sd0? I tried disklabel -B sd1, but it won't boot like it did when I did a new install on sd1. I don;t wish to do a re-install. I would rather understand this process, as I know it will happen again. Thank's in advance. -Ron -- **************************************************************************** Ron Bolin rlb@mindspring.com, http://www.mindspring.com/~rlb/ GSU: matrlbx@indigo4.cs.gsu.edu Home: 770-992-8877 ****************************************************************************
