What it does is relocate itself, load the boot sector from the second disk (actually the next bios disk) and pass the control over. You might be able to use booteasy instead, but I haven't tried. Save the attached file, uudecode, copy to NT's root directory and add a line to NT's boot.ini like, C:\BOOTSECT.NXT="Next Disk" I can post the source if anyone is interested. begin 644 bootsect.nxt M,<".V&:[``8``&:.P_QFB<=FO@!\``!FN0`!``#S9J5FZB@`````!O["CL!F MN`$"``!FNP!\``!FN0$```!F@>+_````S1-F<@AFZ@!\`````&:^@P```&;H M`P```&;K'F909E-FNP$```#\K#P`9G0'M`[-$&;K\V9;9EAFP_1FZ_Q296%D M(&5R<F]R#0H`3F\@8F]O=&%B;&4@<&%R=&ET:6]N#0H````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` M``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````"` 1``$`I?___P````!0PP``5:H` ` end -lq To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
