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 I find this foreboding worrisome; When I boot my PC, I get that F1 DOS, F2 FreeBSD etc boot menu and either press enter for F2 or wait for F2 to select itself... A while back, list members had confusedly directed me to use fdisk -B or boot0cfg and since then, although I only boot to FreeBSD, have abandoned my Standard MBR [no menu] project. :-( Can someone provide definitive guidance on this please? -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
