Boot from the DOS disk and run fdisk /MBR. This will clear the MBR of LILO. Then try to install booteasy from the CDROM. Boot Linux from the boot floppy and install LILO on the Linux root partition and make the Linux root partition bootable. This should make the Linux partition visable to boot easy. Will have a closer look at this later. Frank To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
