 |Very few replies. If you have the time.... Do I need this installed on
 |any other disk, other than the root drive? Does W95 need to be changed?
 |
 |    W95 on sd0 and sd1
 |    FreeBSD on sd2
 |    install osbsbeta on sd0?  (no menu after reboot)
 |    mangle some W95 startup stuff? (sorry I'm only Unix literate)
 |    
 | Can you help? Or point me in the right direction?

No, just install on sd0.  It does that by default.  Pick out your various
boot partitions from the scrollable list inside of the OS/BS GUI under
"Install" (e.g. W95 on sd0 slice 1, FreeBSD on sd2 slice ?).  Then save it.
And reboot.

On boot, the first menu you see will be OS/BS letting you pick whether you
want to boot your DOS or your FreeBSD partition.  If you select your DOS
partition, it'll put you at your Win95 boot menu (if you've enabled it) or
flip you straight to the Win95 splash screen (if you haven't).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Randall
