BSD booting

voidmain:
Hmmm, the machine I have FreeBSD installed on here at home is in a VMware session so I couldn't test the mounting procedure but according to "man mount" that should have done it.  And my machines at work are all standalone BSD boxes.  As you can tell, I am not as familiar with the FreeBSD boot loader.  I'll have to do some more research (I hate to do another install although my main machine is configured similar to yours, I could shrink the partition on my second drive and do an install to that partition and see if I can duplicate and solve your issue.  But I don't think it's going to happen tonight, actually probably not at all this weekend as I have a fun packed weekend ahead.  Sorry I couldn't help you.  Maybe some of these "BSD Rules" types on here can help you out.

Master of Reality:
If i used GRUB there would be no need for the kernel to be on the boot partition. But i already swwitched to LILO. How do i get GRUB back on?

voidmain:
Doesn't "grub-install /dev/hda" do it?

Master of Reality:
in GRUB.conf where i have to put in the HD. What would i put down for /dev/hdb3? (in my Reddhat Entry it says (hd0,0) for /dev/hda)

Calum:
probably (hd1,2) check out this document here
