If you have DOS on the system, it will be invoked fine from the bootmgr. No reasonable set of arguments to the boot FLOPPY kernel loader ends up in a booted system (from hard disk - booting from floppy obviously works). Any suggestion will be appreciated. This is on an IDE HD, IDE CD, P6-200, etc. machine which runs FreeBSD fine otherwise. --- If Microsoft Built Cars: Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.
