Hi there, I have a problem with getting one system boot from a SCSI disk.
The system was installed on an IDE disk, and then dump|restored to the SCSI one. I used /stand/sysinstall's fdisk to mark the slice bootable, and install the standard MBR, but all I got was "Missing operating system". If I install booteasy, it shows the menu, but doesn't boot from the SCSI disk. I've since then tried many different things, but since this area is a bit Greek to me, I'm not sure what's wrong. The disk (or the data on it) is fine: I have the box booted off of an IDE disk, with all filesystems, including /, mounted from the SCSI one. It just doesn't want to boot. It doesn't even get to the >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: prompt. I've realized I don't have a fscking idea about how booting works, especially in FreeBSD. Pretty embarrasing. :( -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
