Just go in tools on freebsd cdrom and get the boot.bin & bootinst.exe put the in the C:\ dir start win95 command prompt only. start bootinst and answer yes . restart and you will have the options of win95 or freebsd. I like having that in C: dir incase you upgrade win95 that makes it easy to reinstall the boot loader. hometeam@techpower.net --We cannot all be masters, nor all masters Cannot be truly follow'd-- On Sun, 5 Oct 1997, Nick Popoff wrote: > > I'm trying to use the BootManager but I don't think I'm configuring it > correctly.
