Everything is now working great (well, almost, my video card is not supported directly...yet...so I only have vga). Also, the DOS partitions that I did not do anything to while in fdisk or with disklabel aren't accessible. I've lost the ability to boot DOS! This is very important to me so I can help my mom with her programming classes(long distance). I don't want to have to re-install again if I don't have to. Both the FreeBSD 2.0 "/" partition (slice) and the primary DOS partition are on one disk. The rest of FreeBSD 2.0 is on the second drive. Disklabel recognizes the Primary DOS partition but not the extended DOS partition. Can anyone make a suggestion as to what steps I might take to fix my problem? How do I get the boot manager to recognize another OS when it is added to the system? Thanks in advance, Eric Solberg
