Could someone PLEASE help me get my new FreeBSD system booted???
I have the following setup:
IDE Hard Drive (C:) with Windows Workstation 4.0
SCSI Hard Drive with FreeBSD on it. The SCSI controller is an Adaptec
AHA1505, non-bootable model.
I have gone through making a boot floppy, booting from it, running the install
program, and installing FreeBSD. Now, how in the world do I get the darned
machine to recognize the non-bootable SCSI drive and boot from it??? I have
run Linux in the past, and have created a LILO boot disk where I would simply
pass the parameters "mount aha152x=0x340,11,7,1" to LILO and it would then
boot the system with Linux on the SCSI drive. How can I do something similar
with FreeBSD???
Can someone PLEASE help?!?!?!?! Thank you VERY much...
