I have windows98 on the 1st partition of the first hard disk and FreeBSD-2.2.6 on the second partition. The previous boot manager gives F1=default,taken to be windows98, F2=BSD, now with the second hard disk I got one more F5=disk2, but when I enter F5, it says missing operating system. Then I install FreeBSD-4.4 on the first partition of the second hard disk (FAST), it boot windows98, thus I have 2 possibilities to boot windows 98, but cannot boot FreeBSDD-4.4. I shall appreciate very much your help in solving this problem. Thank you very much, T. N.
