I run both Win95 and 2.2.5 side-by-side. The Win95 and 2.2.5 bootable are on the first hard disk, while some other 2.2.5 partitions are on the second harddisk. Today after reinstalling Win95, the boot manager disappeared and I can only booted Win95. I searched the archive and read a suggestion that I run bootinst.exe from the CDROM. The problem is that I ran bootinst.exe after I have `messed' around with `fip' and `sysinstall' (partition config) for a while :(. The end result is that when reboot, I have the following choice of OS F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk2 F1 starts Win95 fine. But F2 and F5 generated the following message: "FreeBSD Boot @0x10000: 640/31744K of memory ... Boot Default: 1:wd(1,a) kernel boot: empty partition can't find kernel" I would appreciate if anyone can give me some advice on how to fix the problem. Thank you very much, Suttipan Limanond.
