Don't believe the timezone selector. Believe date(1).
I am saying that the keyboard did not echo the keystroke 7
but it did echo 6 and 8. Strange indeed. Some bug in a keymap?

You can put it back on yourself. Grab "bootinst.exe" and
'boot.bin' from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/.
Did you read my question?
FreeBSD has been installed on a partition on my fifth disk.
Now how do I boot it?
I boot Linux from partitions on my third, fourth, fifth and sixth disks
by putting the appropriate kernels on the second disk and giving a
root=/dev/xxx option.
My question is: does FreeBSD have a comparable feature?
And if so, how do I get at a kernel, given the fact that I need
a FreeBSD system to read ufs file systems.
The OS/2 boot manager should pick it up no problem as long as you've told
it about it in OS/2 FDISK. I use it here and it works stupendously.
It is impossible to tell OS/2 Warp 3.0 fdisk.
It is possible to tell OS/2 Warp 2.99 beta II fdisk, but it doesnt work
because BM cannot boot from the fifth disk.
