I choose the first option: BootMgr (booteasy). Shouldn't this install booteasy as you recommended? Isn't there a way to modify the bootmgr without going through the install? All I want to do is tell it to have a second option which is FreeBSD and tell it where to look for the FreeBSD boot area. TIA, Evan Polster Probita Inc. evan@probita.com
