Hi. all.

I tried to install FreeB2.1.5 on my second HD ( single on second ide slot )
I have wi*95 on master drive of the first ide slot.

( Well, I've been using Linux for a while and I lately decide to move to
FreeBSD. I had no problem to install & run the Linux on my second HD. )

The installation just work fine. But after reboot, nothing happen. I tried
to install FreeBSD on my first HD ( 1/2 of DOS and 1/2 of FreeBSD ) and it
works.. but Why it is not working on my second HD? ( Maybe you just think,
then why not on the first HD?  since I have a ws*Digi* 's 1.2 GB which
makes cranky noise while read/write under UNI* clone OS.. it is strange
there is no more cranky with Win*5. I don;t know why...)

So,  full of FreeBSD on my second HD is desperate.. :-<
I guess the FreeBSD supposed to work only on C: drive, I hope I'm wrong.

If there is a way to create boot floppy like as Linux ( it made the boot
disks while install so at least don't need to worry whether it is boot or
not )  please help me...

Thanks in advance...
