Hello,
    I have installed windows NT and 95 on my first hard drive that is 4
gig.  (Western Digital 4.3 gig Ultra Wide ScSi drive) 2 gig for each
os.  I used system commander as my boot manager and everything went
fine.  Then I installed FreeBSD on a quantum atlas 2.1 gig Ultra Wide
SCSI drive with no problem.  But when I connect the FreeBSD drive to the
bus with the NT and 95 drive, system commander picks up all three of
them and will boot fine into NT and 95 but hangs up on FreeBSD twoards
the end of the startup with an error that says CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM!
FAILED AUTOMATIC FILE SYSTEM CHECK.  and some other stuff comes up.  It
will eventually let me log in but with multilple error messages of
different sorts and when it finally lets me on only a very limited
number of commands will function.  The odd thing is that if i connect
ONLY the FreeBSD drive to the computer everything works fine with it.  I
thought that maybe it was trying to read my other hard drive as well and
was running into a problem with the different file systems ??  If you
have any ideas on what could be wrong or any suggestions please let me
know.  Or if anyone has it running with system commander please let me
know in what order you put the os's on.   thanks alot!

p.s.  I am running the new version of system commander and it boasts
that it supports all three operating systems (NT, 95, FreeBSD)
