Cross" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG It sounds like you want 'boot0'. Boot your system into FreeBSD (that should be simple for you right now ;) and log in as root. Execute the command: "boot0inst wd0" thne "/bin/sync;reboot" When the system comes back up it should display something like: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F1 <--- This says that F1 is the default if you don't do anything. If you wait a few seconds it will just do the default entry for you. It saves the default each time you go, so if you boot into FreeBSD and then reboot (remotely or something) it will boot into FreeBSD again. Same for Win9x. -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
