If you did, you should get an option to select which drive to boot from, when the computer boots up. If not, you can add one after installation with the program 'boot0cfg'. It's probably best to make sure to add it to both drives :) If all you want to do is access the contents of your second (4.9) drive when you're booted into 4.7 (or vice versa) you have to create mount points and mount the partitions of your other drive somewhere in your file system. The easiest way to do this is probably to use 'mkdir' to create a directory for the mount point, edit the file '/etc/fstab' and add the device name and the mount point, then use 'mount <your-chosen-mountpoint>'. (And unless you specify 'noauto' in /etc/fstab, it will automatically be mounted each time you reboot, as well.) See the respective man pages for all of these for more information. -Chris _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
