Re: boot loader question

[Jaime Andrés Ballesteros <jaimeandresb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Eric for your answer. I will try. Now i have another question.
Why all BSD's recognizes my SATA disks like ad4? i was waiting for an
ad0 but DgnFly puts an ad4. Is this because BSD's recognizes the SATA
disk like SCSI disks??

Thanks to everyone
