There is 2 hard drives disk in my computer and Windows 98 is already installed in the first one. At the end of the installation, the message said that the installation is completed successfully. My problem is that when I reboot my computer, it always boots with Windows 98 and there is no lilo prompt. So what is the matter? > So could you give me further information about that problem ? > > Thanks you ! > -- You probably didn't change the mbr of your 1st hard drive. I'd suggest you install the freebsd bootmanager in the mbr of your booting hard drive (the one on which your windows is installed). That will let you choose which system you want to boot. To do so you have to boot your freebsd system (either with your installation CD or change the hard drive boot sequence in your bios), and then enter /stand/sysinstall and follow the directions for installing the bootmanager in the freebsd handbook.
