Is there something that I should know? Oh by the way, I am Do you mean that you put the floppy into the floppy drive, reboot the computer, and then it goes into the Win95 boot sequence? Or do you mean that you have FreeBSD installed onto your hdd, have booteasy installed, and that your computer boots Win95 even if you press [F2] or whatever for FreeBSD? If you mean that your computer boots Windows 95 even if you have the FreeBSD boot floppy in, then you should check your boot sequence. The `A' drive should be checked first, then the `C' drive. If you have installed from the floppy fine, there are a number of other problems that could be biting you. I can never keep them or their solutions straight, but in lue of anyone who can responding, you might try installing OSBS (from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/). > trying to use a totally separate hard drive for FreeBSD instead of a > partition on C:, should I do something different for this? IDE or SCSI? Is there another DOS partition on the second drive, or is it just purely for FreeBSD? -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
