Hello All,

To a system with FreeBSD installed in the primary IDE harddrive I added
a SCSI controller and disk.

Next I installed FreeBSD on the SCSI disk. Everything went smoothly.

Finally I rebooted, but in the bootmgr only Dos and FreeBSD on the IDE
harddrive appeared.

And whatever I tried I couldn't boot from the kernel on the scsi disk (I
can mount it, so I know it is there). I tried things like:
sd(0,a)/kernel but it only booted from the wd0 kernel.

Does anyone know how I can boot from the kernel on the scsi drive or
better how can I change the bootmgr that it gives the kernel on the scsi
drive as an option?

Really thanks for any suggestions.
