First off, my *many* thanks to those who have offered help so far. It has
indeed been very useful.
Now, here's my situation. I can boot my system again just fine from BSD or
DOS. I have to use DOS' FDISK to switch active partitions, but it works.
Now, I want to install a boot manager so that I can boot either one without
FDISK. When I tried BOOTEASY, it did the right thing with the DOS drive,
but did the wrong thing with the BSD disk (gave me a menu - even after I
told it to boot FreeBSD, it just gave me another menu...8-). Are there
other boot managers that do the right thing with two disks each with their
own OS on them, or is there simply a good switch to send booteasy that
wasn't evident from the info it came with?
