How can i boot > up BSD on a floppy or just boot up, so i can use the your beastly OS. `beastly'? Do you mean `beefy'? :-) You need to install a boot manager. Get `bootinst.exe' and `boot.bin' from the tools/ directory, run `lock' on the win95 box to release the MBR, then run bootinst to install the boot selector. On next bootup you'll be able to choose between Windows and FreeBSD.
