To do that either: 1. When installing FreeBSD tell it to install into *both* disks, don't creare any partitions on the first one, but tell it to put the boot manager on it. or: 2. Boot DOS (Win95 DOS mode is *not* good enough) and install the boot manager. The installation program is in the \tools directory on the CD and on the ftp sites and is called something like bootinst.exe if I remember correctly :-). Nadav
