I selected the installation to take place on the second drive and chose the "bootEasy" option as the boot manager. Since the boot manager appears to be the probelm, how do I go about "installing it from DOS"? The installation guide doesn't seem to offer any tips on doing this. If I use fdisk after booting with the Windows emergency boot disk I can set the DOS partition to active and Windows will boot when I reset the system but it doesn't seem to know about FreeBSD. Also, since my SCSI card is at IO Port address 0x334 instead of 0x330 as expected per the installation doc, will the boot manager be installed properly if I attempt to do it from dos?
