So, heres an irritating prooblem that I was wondering if anyone has a slution to. I have a machine with an Adaptec SCSI card in it,a Compaq 4200 RAID controllert and a CD-ROM (ATAPI). The machine boots from a drive connected to the 2940 SCSI card. I keep an old BIOS on this which permenently installs iitself as drive C: or I dont get the FreeBSD boot manager prompt. Recently I aded in an ether card which also ttried to register itself as a boot device. Now I still get the FreeBSD boot manager, but if I ppress F1 to boot it just beeps at me. What makes it very odd, however, is that if I then hit F5 to cycle through all the drives until I get back to the originsal, I can now boot from it! This is somewhat frustrating - I realise there is some problem with the machine BIOS, but if I can get as far as the booot menu then surely I should be ableto boot the drive ? Any wy does cylicng through all the discs help ? I am loathe to try upgrading the machines BIOS in case I end up in a state where I cannot boot the system at all I cannot boot the system at all suggestions ? -pcf.
