To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 28 Nov 1995 11:24:17 -0500 (EST) From: "Steve Mansfield" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 992 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk 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?
