Dear Sir,

I installed FreeBSD off my Walnut Creek CDROM onto my second (slaved)
physical hard drive into a 2G partition of a 6G hard drive. I then installed
Windows NT 4.0 into the rest of the second drive. The first drive (4G
master) is all Windows 95. Both drives are connect to the same IDE
controller.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get FreeBSD's boot manager to come up. The
only way I can boot FreeBSD is using the boot floppy and the command:
1:wd(1,a)kernel.

I have tried using BOOTINST.EXE in the /TOOLS directory. Every time I run
it, I get the following error messages:
Cannot write to file bootsav.bin
Cannot write to file boot2sav.bin

Is it possible to install FreeBSD's boot manager without reinstalling
FreeBSD? If so, how? Can Windows NT's "OS Loader" handle the task?

Thanks for any help,
Frank Myers
