Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 15:42:36 -0400 Organization: PANIX Public Access Internet and Unix, NYC Lines: 31 Message-ID: <Pine.SUN.3.94.960919153108.19693A-100000@panix3.panix.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: panix3.panix.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hey all- Question: We're trying an install on an HP-PC w/ EISA HD ( w/ Win95 on EISA) and a new Adaptec 2940Ultra SCSI card with a Seagate 1Gig HD. We would like to install FreeBSD on the SCSI HD, and leave the EISA drive alone. Ultimatly, I believe we'd use 'booteasy' to determine what OS we use, Win95 from the EISA, and FreeBSD from the SCSI. We cannot seem to get the 'sysinstall?' program to recognize the SCSI HD so that we may partition it. We never see the menu on page 46 of the 'Installing & Running FreeBSD' manual which lets the user choose which drive one wishes to install FreeBSD. All we get is FDISK showing us "disk name: wd0". Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
