Is there any post-installation way to get >FreeBSD to put in the boot manager, or is that only available from the >installation program, which has a nasty tendancy towards overwriting ones There should be sources and a standalone installation program (probably DOS-based) for boot manager(s) somewhere in the distribution. On the 2.0R cdrom they are in tools/dos-tools (bteasy and os-bs). >I also have a dos partition filling wd0 that I'd like to mount ( > 32 >megs dos primary) but freebsd's partition manager says it is unuse, and >has a tenency to zap it to actually being unused. Do I need to disklabel >the disk? How should I go about mounting it? mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /where-you-want-it Then put it in /etc/fstab if it works. You shouldn't need to touch wd0 using sysinstall; however if sysinstall is confused by the existing partition table then maybe the kernel will be too. Bruce
