Hi, I upgraded a laptop at work which was running 2.2.6 (oh the pain) to 4.2 and had a few problems.. The floppy drive was stuffed and it's too old to be able to boot off the CDROM drive so I transfered the HD to another laptop (P233 Sharp PC-M110) and did the install on that and it seemed fine (as in boot0 could select which OS to boot from - it dual boots Windows). When I transfered the drive back to the P100 laptop boot0 just hung - fortunatly I found that the floppy drive works well enough to load boot1 (I think it's boot1 - it loads the forth loader anyway), and from that I could boot to the HD.. I fiddled with lots of options in boot0cfg but with no luck. I tried installing the boot0 which just boots FreeBSD instead of giving you a choice and found that lo and behold it works.. Unfortunatly I need it to dual boot, so I dug out and old copy of os-bs and installed that and it works fine (finally). Is there any information I can provide which would allow boot0 to be fixed? OS-BS is OK but it doesn't remember what you booted last which is minorly irritating.. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
