(with FreeBSD 3.0 installed) ................................................................................. BootEasy sees the dos/Winnt stuff as F1 = DOS, and displays the 2nd drive as F2 = ???. If I select F1, I get the normal dos/NT 4.0 boot screen. If I select F2, I get a message that the kernel was not found. I have installed booteasy on both hds. I can boot to the install floppy, and boot to 1:wd(1,a)kernel with NO problem. I'd like to be able to boot from BootEasy. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks, Barry A.
