I have 3 hard disks in my system and have installed FreeBSD 2.2 on my 3rd
disk
(on the second IDE controller).
As far as I can see, Booteasy refuses to find this 3rd disk and as a result
I can't boot
FreeBSD. Can anyone confirm this ? If this is the case is there any other
Boot Managers
that can find possible 3rd or 4th hard disks on the second IDE controller ?
