Greetings! Thanks to all who responded with suggestions as to how to install a bootloader. Well, nothing is working. I have WinXP on my first hard drive. I have installed FreeBSD 4.7 on the second hard drive. It's installed,but the part of the install that should install the bootmanager needs to be rewritten, IMHO. Sorry to say this, but Linux does the bootloader much better. I find the instructions very confusing. I really want to give Free BSD a chance, but if I can't get it to load with the boot loader, then it doesn't matter. So, is there any way I can install a bootloader on the WinXP drive without reinstalling FreeBSD. Does no good to reinstall because it's always the same problem. I've checked the docs, the mailing lists, but with no specific answer. Somebody needs to clarify the boot loader install for people like me. :-) Thanks for anything, except "get it right, stupid." :-))))) Regards, Mike keeper@neo.rr.com
