How do I get the prompt to select Windows > 95 (drive 0) or FreeBSD (drive 1)? Generally, the system tries to boot from drive 0. If you want the boot manager to come up, you will have to install said manager in the boot blocks of the drive from which you are booting. There are three choices: 1) Tell the BIOS that it must use drive 1 to start the boot. 1) Physically reverse drives 0 and 1 so that FreeBSD is on drive 0. 2) Install the boot manager on the windows drive. ---- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net
