I install the system onto the second IDE Drive, with the boot-manager option. The install seems to go well, but after rebooting the system, I get nowhere (system won't start anything), and I need to load a DOS disk and reset my DOS partition to be startable. Then I get everything back -- but no BSD. I've tried it a few times with the same results. Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Sam Magee smagee@intac.com
