I got it! :) After letting bsd boot, I re-read the docs and found the secret: use -1 for the i/o of the cd. I have been using FreeBSD since 2.2.1-R, and have missed that item. Anyway, it works great. I have 3.0-R setup on my 2nd HD (along with Linux (Debian2.1). Now, I just have to get it configured! Anyway, I now have windud95 (came with computer), OS/2Warp4 on one hd, and Linux/FreeBSD on my 2nd hd. Thanks, Doug, for your help.
