Now I have a DOS partition I can mount under Freebsd, I can even see the C: dos thing if i boot from a dos flopppy, but if i try to boot off the hard disc it always runs freebsd, regardless of whether I mark freebsd or dos as active with fdisk. Only thing I can think of now is to install that os-bs thing (from wherever) Any other suggestions ? Julian S
