Denis Fortin stands accused of saying:

Hehe... I like that there can be a little sense of humor on
a kind of serious mailing list.

I also have a question:

I have BSD running on wd0 and dos on wd1.
I know that the boot manager doesn't work if DOS is not on the MASTER disk.
When I try to boot dos with a floppy it writes into the bsd boot block
resulting in a crash.

Which is the easiest way to switch DOS to the master disk and bsd to the
slave disk without loosing any data, and get the boot manager working on
the dos disk. Will BSD automatically find itself on wd1 if I switch the 
cables, rejumps the harddisks and change the info in the bios.
Can I boot bsd from wd1 with the bsd boot disks, and if 
so, what do I type at the 'Boot:'-prompt.

Thanks in advance,
