In its documentation I found a hint, that the BeOs bootmanager (started from a BeOS shell with the command "bootman") has to be installed once. This will write then a sufficient boot record on the disk. Afterwards you can change your boot manager to whatever you want to boot this partition. The same is true for Linux. You will need lilo installed in some Linux partition. BTW, the BeOS bootmanager is the second finest piece I ever found of this kind. Really easy to use. Guess which is my #1 :-) Hope this aims at your problem. Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
