Creating a FAT32 on new drive...

At Wed, 17 Nov 2004 it looks like scott renna composed:

Thanks for the rapid response.  I'm lucky it booted for this
machine is a triple boot with 2000/Linux/FreeBSD and Linux flipped
out when I tried to do a regular boot with LILO and seemed like a
normal boot but all of a sudden it dove straight for the drive
hanging on the Promise controller and booted that!!

The drive hanging on the Promise card is an Linux OS.

I don't know how in the hell it got that confused so I looked at
the drive hanging on cables coming out of my machine, saw it was
jumped as a "master" and figured that had to be the problem so I
jumped it as a "slave" on the Promise card (now it's /dev/ad5)

AND LINUX STILL BOOTED IT off the Promise controller....

Windows 2000 never saw the drive hanging off the Promise
controller either.

Only FreeBSD was able to tackle the drive successfully.
