You don't want to try hacking the boot0cfg file. I did this once and followed very accurate instructions and got into a bit of trouble. Best bet is to use GRUB. It's by far the best boot manager. If you ever install win2k or XP you will notice that the default boot manager for FreeBSD will see these OS's as ???. Install/configure GRUB and you'll be much happier. -Troy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
