Every time I install FreeBSD I get Booteasy. With every new install I try to NOT have installed, but no matter what I do it installs. Just installed 2.2.7 and not only Booteasy was installed, but for the first time I am not able to get rid of it. I use OS/2 boot manager. How I installed 2.2.7: Did label without going into partitioning. Deleted old mount points (slices?) and did new ones (I wanted to change the space allocation). Continue with install. I was not asked if I wanted boot easy or not. After install finished I reboot and found Booteasy install. At first it seemed to be working; I was able to go into win95, OS/2 and FreeBSD. This morning I was not able to go into Win95 and when I went into OS/2 I got OS/2's boot manager and still could not boot Win95. >From OS/2 tried re-installing the boot manager. Tried deleting the FreeBSD partition. Finally I boot from a win95 floppy and did "sys c:". I STILL get booteasy, but at least now I can get into win95. Questions -How do I get rid of booteasy so I can re-install OS/2 boot manager? -What do I have to do TO NOT GET booteasy. With every install I have ever done of FreeBSD I have tried at one point or another all three boot options (Boot manager, normal and leave boot record alone) and it seems boot easy get's installed no matter what. At least on previous versions I was able to re-install OS/2 boot manager. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
