How do I get the prompt to select Windows > 95 (drive 0) or FreeBSD (drive 1)? I have no idea why the boot manager didn't get installed when you chose to do so. Maybe you installed Win95 afterwards? (the latter wipes out the BM). To re-install it you may get one of the boot managers from the tools directory on the CD and install this from Win95 (down at the Command level) or you go back to the boot disk and try to get the boot manager written from the fdisk menu. I'm not sure if this will work though without re-doing a full install. > > --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
