Hdisk0 [Quantom 1.2 Gb] : OS/2 Boot Manager / MSDos {fat16} / Win95 {fat16}/ FreeBSD Hdisk1 [Maxtor 5.1 Gb] : OS/2 {Hpfs} /Extended Partition ( made up of a mixture of Hpfs, fat16 and fat32 logical partitions and some free space). I do have intentions at a later date of switching the two hard disks arround and making the Mator Hdisk0 and the Quantom Hdisk1. This would require reloading all the OS's. This is time consuming and I don't have all that time at the moment. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
