Try using OS-BS as a boot manager. It can be set up as having a timeout and eternal default, so you can boot FreeBSD all the time unless you choose otherwise. You'll need the beta version to boot from multiple disks. -- Eric Hodel hodeleri@seattleu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
