 Jonathan,

   After "commiting" the install process a boot mgr selection screen
 is displayed. I choose the first option: BootMgr (booteasy). Shouldn't
 this install booteasy as you recommended?

   Isn't there a way to modify the bootmgr without going through the
 install? All I want to do is tell it to have a second option which 
 is FreeBSD and tell it where to look for the FreeBSD boot area.

 TIA,
