I have a choice of F1 [dos (Win95)] or F5 (2nd drive). After I choose I get a message that my boot sector is going to be modifiied. If I choose F5, I then get another prompt with the above plus F2 for FreeBSD followed by another warning that my boot sector is about to be modified. Should this be happening? During the install I chose to install the boot manager (apparently on both drives) and did not use any flags (such as make bootable) anywhere. My question: When installing Boot Easy, is it only necessary to put it on my original boot drive (wd0s1), and should I have made my FreeBSD slice bootable? Yes I have read all the installation references I could find, including the page on paritioning the disk. Thanks for any comments.
