I am not sure that everyone understood my original post but what my actual question is that I want to use Booteasy/BootMGR to boot between Win98/FreeBSD With the following listed harddrive configuration. -Win98 will be on a Samsung 1.2Gig drive as the primary slave. -FreeBSD 3.4 will be on a MaXtor 17.8gig drive as primary master. Is this functionality possible?
