Works great. Sounds like you just need to pick a favorite boot manager and install it on your hd0. With DOS on hd0 that should be no problem -- DOS partitions give you plenty of room at the front of the disk to install OS/BS or whatever boot manager you prefer. See ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools/osbs*.exe As an aside, OS/BS is pretty nice. Actually, I have it multibooting off DOS and FreeBSD 2.0.5 on wd0, FreeBSD 2.1.0 and some old Linux version on wd1, and off my ZIP drive on sd0. Randy Hopper rhh@ct.picker.com
