I am trying to get booteasy to boot off of more than one
disk but it dosen't work. What am I doing wrong?
Here is what I have:
386 cpu.
scsi disk sd0 dos 6.21 only (the whole disk).
scsi disk sd1 Freebsd 2.1.5 only (the whole disk).
Here is what happens:
Any way of booting or rebooting from the hard disks causes
the machine to boot dos (sd0).
The only way to get Freebsd (sd1) to boot is to use the boot
floppy.
What I have done:
In sysinstall I have selected booteasy on sd0, sd1, and
both.
None of the combinations has worked.
What I have seen:
The boot selector part of the installation is real quiet.
Beyond asking me which type of boot I want and which drive(s)
I want to boot from it dosen't say a thing. No feedback
whatsoever. Is that correct?
What am I doing wrong?
