Personally I've never had booteasy work on my machines, so I've always used Lilo, SystemCommander, or (played with) BootMagic. With FreeBSD on the second hard drive and '98 on the first, I never had a problem. I assume BootEasy will do the same. However, booteasy must reside on the mbr of the 1st drive (why no bootblock support, btw?) because the bios can't boot off the second drive (it can on scsi, if tweaked). Thus.. it should. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
