However, I can't seem to solve the problem of installing Win95 and FreeBSD on the same hard drive. I know the list archives contain a great deal of information on this subject, but I simply cannot make it work. I have by the way installed FreeBSD by itself, without Win95, and it worked great. The problem is the boot manager. When installing BootEasy during the FTP install, it would'nt work at all. So I re-installed FreeBSD, then installed BootEasy from DOS, and it will boot Win95, but not FreeBSD. I suspect this is a disk geometry or partition size problem? The system is a 486DX4/100, with 8 meg of RAM. The hard drive is a 1gig Seagate ST51080A ( 2100cyl., 16 heads, and 63 sectors ). As I mentioned, the install medium was FTP. I have used both FIPS and FDISK to create the space needed, both with the same results. I apologize for asking such a novice question, as it has been covered here plenty already, but I have finally reached the point where I had to swallow my pride and ask for help. Thanks, Bill Cummings
