You will have to install the Boot Manager to your first disk manually, but that will give you the option to select which system to start up. If you're running OnTrack or similar translation software, don't do this. 0. To ensure a successful installation, make a small DOS partition on the disk, then remove it in sysinstall and use 'A' to use the entire disk for FreeBSD. Complete the install. 1. Fetch boot.bin and bootinst.exe from tools/ on the ftp site. 2. Restart into DOS. 3. Run bootinst from your first disk.
