It won't co-operate with you memory managers, or such, so if you want to run it from autoexec.bat based on a dos5 config.sys menu, you'll want to not load emm386 and such. I actually use Win95 and just have an account "fbsd" which automatically runs fbsdboot.exe. Alternatively, if you don't mind having a boot manager, installing something like os/bs (look in the `tools' directory on ftp.freebsd.org, I think), is a much better and nicer solution. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
