Hello, I have a machine whose primary IDE controller is blown. Only the secondary works. So, I connected my single IDe drive as the secondary master, and proceeded to install FreeBSD.
The install went flawlessly. I installed with the FreeBSD boot manager(the first choice on that screen of three boot loader choices) When I boot, I see the F1 .. Default menu. If I wait, or if I hit enter, I am told: Read error I reinstalled, and this time didn't use the freeBSD boot manager. Just the normal loader. This time, after POST, it goes directly to "read error". So, what can I do to this disk to make it possible for the machine to boot off what I have installed on the secondary master ? I used the fixit disk to mount the drive and tried to edit things in /boot, but I cannot figure out exactly what to change. Any help is appreciated. thanks, Joesh _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
