I have 2 Hard drives, and one CD-ROM. If I put the CD-ROM on primary/slave IDE and put the second hard drive on secondary/master, DOS gets quite screwed up. The thing is, I want FreeBSD to live on the 2nd Hard drive, and DOS on the first. Am I throwing potato chips into the wind here? Thank you, Michael Bangert mbanger@iupui.edu
