I repartitioned my sole disk drive. left 1 gig for win 98, booted that up. then installed freeBSD. worked like a charm. After that, installed extened and logicals for the windows. Everything going fine here too. Switched my fat 16 drives to fat 32 in windows. Now it seems that my bootmanager does not want to give me the option. in fact, there is nO boot manager. i can still boot bsd, and it runs fine. but i have to do it through fdisk and set it active. then, when i want to go back to win98, i have to pu tin a boot disk and get into fdisk again. its all messed up and it was working fine.
