Subject: FreeBSD and Win 98 - boot problem

I was running Win95 OSR2 and FreeBSD 2.2.2 
(from the Walnut Creek CD) on my computer using
the boot selector program provided with FreeBSD.

Then I installed Win98 Preview Beta ver 1650.
Naturally, it overwrote the boot sector to boot only
to Win98.

I tried putting the boot program back.  I copied the
contents of the tools folder from the CD into a 
directory on my C drive.  Then, I ran the bootinst.exe
program from that file.  After answering yes to both
of the questions, it said it had installed the new boot 
program.  Whenever I boot the system, I now get the
selection of F1 for DOS (Win98) and F3 for FreeBSD.

However, if I hit the F3 key, it responds with F? and does
not boot FreeBSD.  Thus, the only bootable selection I
can make is F1 for Win98, which boots ok.  All other 
function keys return the correct numbers, not F?.  But,
the only ones pointing to bootables are F1 and F3.

Is this some trickery pulled by the Win98 team, or is
this the boot program trying to tell me it can't boot the 
FreeBSD image?

Anyone know how to fix this??

Thanks for any help,

Paul Missman
