Actually STABLE will have no problems as it's been running on this box for over a year. +-----+ |Steve Wingate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |MCSE, CCNA Sat Nov 1 20:30:00 PST 2003 +-+ |FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE | 8:30PM up 2 days, 12:37, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 +-+ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Dualbooting STABLE & CURRENT
I need some help dual booting STABLE & CURRENT. I have two SCSI disks with: STABLE taking the entire first disk (works fine) CURRENT taking the first 1/3 of the second disk and backup data taking the remaining 2/3 of the second disk. I have installed CURRENT (at least 8 times) but I cannot get it to boot. Choosing F1 on booteasy boots STABLE. Choosing F5 boots nothing but it then shows an F2 entry for FreeBSD. I choose F2 and nothing happens. I have tried boot easy on the first disk, the second disk, both disks and nothing seems to work. I have tried making both slices making bootable and every possible derivative I can think of. What am I missing here? +-+ |Steve Wingate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |MCSE, CCNA Sat Nov 1 13:10:00 PST 2003 +-+ |FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE | 1:10PM up 2 days, 5:17, 0 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 +-+ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
