In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Marc, There's several ways to do this. Personally, I like osbsbeta so much, I use it on all the multi-boot computers I administer, regardless of what OS is installed on them. You'll find it in the tools subdirectory of your CDROM, or in the tools subdirectory on the ftp site. Copy it to a DOS boot disk, boot with the disk, and run the executable. This will create a folder called os-bs, cd into it, run osbs20b8.exe and follow the prompts. Dru On Sun, 18 Feb 2001, Marc G.
