After you get FreeBSD booted once (playing with your BIOS, booting from the CD or floppy or whatever), use the boot0cfg command to install the boot0 boot manager on the Windows disk. That should then offer you a choice of booting Windows, or booting from the other drive. If you've got boot0 installed on the FreeBSD disk, choosing the other drive will let you boot FreeBSD or drive 0. If you don't like making the second choice, use fdisk to install the standard boot manager on the FreeBSD disk. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
