You need to know that you should install BootEasy (the FreeBSD boot manager) on the disk with Windows install on it, and either BootEasy or a standard boot manager on the second disk. This way you get a keyboard menu for DOS or disk2, and going to disk2 either boots FreeBSD or gets a similar menu for FreeBSD or disk1. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
