I figured I might as well use the NT boot manager since That's what I tried to use for a machine at work which has NT on the first drive and FreeBSD 2.1.6 on the second. I tried what the FAQ said about the NT loader and couldn't get it to boot FreeBSD on the second disk. OS-BS 2.0b8 solved the problem. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #39: Sun Feb 2 22:12:44 CET 1997
