My /dev/sd0s1, s2, s3 and /dev/sd1s1, s2 are for Linux. I installed FreeBSD on /dev/sd0s4 (root partition) and /dev/sd1s3. I want to boot up the system with typing 1:sd(0,a)/kernl after the boot: prompt. I learned from somewhere that I should do: 1) remove the remark on the line BIAS...=1 in the file /sys/i386/boot/biosboot/Makefile. 2) recompile and install the kernel 3) disklabel -B sd0 However, the system just keeps trying to boot from sd1a. What did I miss? Please help. -- Richard Tsai.
