The PC has several SCSI disks: BSD/OS 4.1 is installed on disk 0 and FreeBSD 4.3 on disk 1. The install seemed to go OK, but although I indicated that I wanted to install the FreeBSD boot manager, it never asked me to configure it, and it didn't seem to get installed. This leaves me baffled because now I don't know how to boot into FreeBSD! When I reboot or reset the machine it goes straight to sd0 and boots BSD/OS, same as before. I need to have a choice for booting either OS. Any ideas? (Do you know if there is a BSD/OS boot manager of some kind?)
