My second HD, which contains DOS, is a 245MB Maxtor. With LILO I was able to boot DOS off of the second disk, but with the FreeBSD boot manager when I try to boot DOS I get the error "Not a system disk." If I boot DOS from a floppy it starts up fine. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? If you need more information please let me know. Thanks for your help. -- ______________________________________ Mike Shimony Comverse Network Systems, IN Division 1025 Briggs Rd. Suite 100 Mt.
