When you boot, you get a prompt to use F1 to boot that disk, and F5 to go to the other disk. Hitting F1 boots, F5 gets the same prompt on the other disk. There are lots of ways to screw this up, though. For instance, Windows won't boot off anything but the first hard disk in the system. If the OS you're booting doesn't chain and booteasy doesn't know how to boot it, you'll have to use something that knows how to boot it. And so on. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
