I think you can install a standard bootstrap, then using dd copy it and have the NT loader use it to boot the system, removing the two layers of boot manager.. I did this before with NT, but it was a while ago and I don't really remember the exact steps you need to take, but there is probably something about it you can google.. The XP loader is configured just as the NT loader. Instructions for using it in both single-disk and two-disk dual-boot configurations are at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER The instructions require that you install the FreeBSD boot manager if you are using the NT boot manager for a two-disk boot, but I think that you can overwrite it with the standard MBR after you have everything configured. Or perhaps I misunderstand: I've never used the NT loader to do a 2-disk configuration with FreeBSD. In any case, for a two disk configuration it is easier to just use the FreeBSD boot manager and not mess with the NT/XP boot manager. Of course using the FreeBSD manager is the much easier and simpler option, just some people seem to like the NT one better.. The NT boot manager is prettier, but for a two-disk system, setting it up is probably more trouble than it is worth. I believe the NT boot manager always defaults to the same system, while the FreeBSD boot manager defaults to the system most recently used.

BootManager Installation when there are more than one HDD

I guessed to install it the first drive, but the menu goes to a partitioning page for the first drive when I choose to install it the first drive; though I am trying to partition the second drive now.

On my side, the cvsup server is running without any problem. I think it could be figured out if you use another cvs server. If it still generates the same messages, it may be no longer a server problem.

I did a cvsup after I read your e-mail just now and it finished updating successfully, so its a problem on your end, unfortunately, I can't help you with the problem since I've never had to encounter one like it before. Sorry, hope I was of more help. I can confirm the problem cvsup'd this morning and can't portsdb -Uu without getting all those 10 fields lines.. 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3, fwiw dan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
