Right now the only way I can boot up FreeBSD system on the Ontrack DM 
system is by using boot.flp and entering wd(1,a)/kernel.  This is very 
annoying.  I have not tried and I doubt if I can access the msdos stuff 
from FreeBSD for now.  

Is there a way to easily make a boot disk that loads the Ontrack DM and 
then boots up FreeBSD from wd1 or from DOS?
