Apparently there was a bug in the 2.1.0 installation program, which installed a boot manager to allow you to choose which system to boot, but put it on the wrong disk... Anyway, it's easy to install it yourself. Just reboot into DOS and run the bootinst.exe program from the tools directory on the CD. If you don't have the CD, grab bootinst.exe and boot.bin from the FTP site (using binary mode, of course), and do likewise. You'll need to reboot into DOS, rather than start a DOS session within Win95, as I'm told Win95 doesn't handle writing directly to disks properly (I don't have Win95). -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
