Microsoft can't imagine why anyone would want to have anything but a standard boot block that points to itself. There are 2 solutions. You can go get booteasy or OSBS off the CD (or it's on the ftp site). and reinstall from a DOS boot floppy. Or you can look in the Handbook, and it will explain to you how to insert FreeBSD into the NT boot screen. Paul. -- "History: Those who ignore it are condemned to repeat it.
