Hi,

The problem is that there's not an option to select the scsi-controller as first boot device. I can boot on the scsi-disc but only if i don't have any IDE-discs in it. If I put in IDE-discs it tries to boot to the first IDE-disc. The BIOS is very limited in the ProLiant 400.

FreeBSD is already installed on the machine and I don't need to reinstall it. The problem is only that it won't boot to the scsi disc if I dont write "1:da(0,a)/boot/loader" at the boot prompt every time i want to boot it. So I want the boot manager to boot to "1:da(0,a)/boot/loader" as default.

Have you tried another boot loader like GAG? I found it easy to install and use. I have it installed on a floppy with all my OS's config'd so I can either boot via the floppy or use the floppy to install it on the hard disk without any further configuration.

Hope this helps
