Hi,

I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 on my PC, in one of the partitions on a new
disk. The details of the disks are:

       Disk Number          Drive          Size      OS
       -----------          -----         -----      ---

           1                 C:            1.2 GB    Windows 95

           2                 D:            500 MB    DOS
                                          2575 MB    Free BSD
 
The second disk is divided into two partitions and in the second
partition, FreeBSD in installed. Using the disk partition editor,
I have made both the partitions in the second disk active (by
pressing 's'). I have chosen to install the Boot manager provided 
as part of the software. But when I boot the machine, I don't get
any choice to choose between BSD and Windows 95. According to the
documentation, it is supposed to show something like:

       F1 : Windows
       F2 : bsd

The machine always goes on to boot Windows 95. How can I get to boot
into BSD? Please let me know what I need to do.

Mahesh
