To do that I created the 2 installations disks kern.flp and msroot.flp booted into my BSD partition and ran /stand/sysinstall from there I set the partion as active, had it install the boot manager and then commited it. I rebooted and it worked. At 04:15 PM 08/10/2000 -0400, Kenneth Wayne Culver wrote: >That's b/c a lot of the "DOS" stuff that was still in windows 98 isn't >there anymore.
