Hello, I installed FreeBSD from a DOS partition by placing the install files under DOS as C:\freebsd\bin . The first time I installed I told the program not to mess with the MBR. I was not able to boot FreeBSD. Even System Commander would not boot it. The second time I installed I told the program to install on the MBR. I was able to boot FreeBSD but nothing else. I boot DOS from floppy, reinstalled System Commander and it found the partition with FreeBSD but could not boot it. System Commander just gave the error "Read Error" and halted. Now I want to try and install booteasy (FreeBSD default bootloader) during the install of FreeBSD. I searched the mail archives and found reference to someone doing this and then installing SysCom and it worked. Finally, my question. Installing from a DOS partiton as C:\freebsd\bin where do I put the bootloader file(s) so the install program will find them?
