After looking again in the newsgroup, I ran across a posting by someone who uses Booteasy successfully with NT....and so now I must confess that the first time I tried installing FreeBSD (a miserable failure which I neglected to talk about in my first message, because I was apparently trying to install on a partition which I had forgotten about which was only 2 Mb) the Booteasy program gave me a menu, which I used to go to the failed Free BSD partition, whereupon I pronptly rebooted. The *second* time I went into the NT side, whereupon my computer loudly complained that it couldn't find ntldr. So then the third time I went into DOS whereupon my ever-eager Norton utilities had informed me that all hell had broken loose inside my MBR, and would I like it to fix it for me. I said sure, so it restored it, brought back ntldr from the dead, and in the process totally blew away any evidence that FreeBSD had ever attemped to install. Now, if I try again on a *proper* partition, will I be able to use the Booteasy with boot.ini calling up the DOS/NT menu?
