I've loaded dual drives before... similar to what you have done but with OS2 Warp instead of Win 95... during installation, besides installing booteasy on the first drive.. did you also install the FreeBSD boot on the second drive? ie you should have seen the boot selection screen twice(once for each drive). BTW... if for some reason you reinstall FreeBSD , only tell it to touch and boot the second drive (as if there were no other opsys's).. <-- done this one before too :-) Let me know how it goes...

French[SMTP:FrenchRA99.CS25@usafa.af.mil] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 1997 4:35 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD and Win95 I have been trying to install FreeBSD on my system recently. The deal is, I need to boot Win95 as well. I have two hard drives, one a 540MB IDE, the othe a 1280MB IDE. They both used to be Win95. However, I migrated all my Win95 stuff to the 540MB drive, to use the 1280MB for FreeBSD. I installed FreeBSD via FTP, telling it to use the entire second drive and to not worry about other future operating systems (ie, ignore existing geometries, or whatever). I installed Boot Easy on the other (Win95) drive. Now, FreeBSD is installed (apparently), but Boot Easy won't let me get to it. I can boot Win95 fine, but whenever I try to select "BSD" from Boot Easy, it just redisplays the prompt. What did I manage to screw up? Thanks.
