- There were some contradictory postings about this topic in the last
- days, so I should tell my experiences.
-
- First, I do boot from 2nd drive, using the first drive for DOS and
- the second one for 386bsd. I don't use SCSI drives, so I can only
- speak about AT-bus drives.
-
- Second, this is how I arranged my drive to do so:
- 0. I had 386bsd installed on my first drive, so it was much easier
- to work on the second (my kernel supports two drives).
- 1. I used the 'pboot' bootselector -available from agate- to
- be able to choose a partition from second drive.
- 2. I got the SCSI bootset by Julian Elischer, that enables you to
- choose the drive, partition and kernel to boot from.
- I changed the sources to make the second drive the default.
- 3. I disklabeled my 2nd drive with these patched bootset, and
- created new filesystems.
- 4. I mounted the drive and moved the bsd system from the first to the
- second drive (don't forget to adapt /etc/fstab ...).
- 5. After sync, unmount and reboot everything worked !
-
- In the meantime I removed 386bsd from the first drive and had
- no problems with it.
-
- Ok, I hope this could help someone...
- ciao,
- Marius.
