If your run it from a DOS disk (boot from that DOS disk) you should be able to run it. I never saw that error 3. It may sound stupid but try it again with the booteasy from freebsd.cdrom.com or a mirror site and do it from a virus clean diskette. I believe the floppy disk must be writable since booteasy writes a backup copy of the boot sector to the current directory. > --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
