SCSI xtrlr & 2 drives. hda0 is solely windoz95C one partition. hda1 is freebsd using installation default auto partition scheme. New FreeBSD4.1 installation 'appeared' to go fine & I indicated I wanted a boot manager, got all the way thru the installation, rebooted & no boot manager appeared, just the usual windoz boot loader. FDISK under windoz shows just one fat32 windoz partition on first HD and one non-dos partition on second HD for freebsd. FAQ indicates boot mgr must live on hda0 first HD with windoz, which seems reasonable. I just want to get it right as it's not convenient to reinstall all the windoz software again (having just done it) if I stuff it up.
