Hi,

I installed FBSD 2.1.6 via the novice setting and things went pretty
smooth.  The only problem is I haven't found a way to boot it up after
installation!  I chose to install a boot manager in the install
process but the machine boot straight back to win 95.  I tried
os-bs135 on the cdrom but the newly installed FBSD partition doesn't
show up.  My disk set up is

	OS	disk size  where
	--      --------   -----
	win95	  1 GB	   IDE1-1 (/dev/wd0 ?)
	Linux     512 MB   IDE2-1 (/dev/wd2 ?)
	FBSD      256 MB   IDE2-2 (/dev/wd3 ?)

Is there a way to boot FBSD from floppy?  At present I boot Linux
using loadlin, is there something similar in FBSD.  Is there a nice
boot manager that works with all 3 OSes?

Thanks.
