I've installed FreeBSD on a machine that has 3 physical hd's. Disk 1 (wd0) is a Win98 drive, Disk 2 (wd1) is another Windows drive, and Disk 3 (wd2) is the FreeBSD drive. Disk 1 is split into 5 DOS partitions, Disk 2 is 2 DOS partitions, if that matters how many partitions are per disk. I've installed Bootmgr different ways, but with no success, i can only boot into Windows. After installing it, i've booted into FreeBSD with the floppies, and went to custom/partition and installed bootmgr and hit W to write it to the master boot record... I've had no success. When i install Bootmgr from DOS, it gives me two options, to install it on 0, and 1, and it shows It only shows Disk 2 as being bootable, im thinking its the main DOS partition, this is becoming very confusing. If anyone has installed FreeBSD on a separate physical disks with another OS, please let me know what options you used for Bootmgr, and how you set it up to boot FreeBSD.
