What do I need to do? Install Booteasy on the first disk. FreeBSD's sysinstall is a bit stupid when it comes to doing the Right Thing when installing Booteasy -- if you install on the second disk, that's where it goes. Follow these simple instructions: 1. copy bootinst.exe and boot.bin off the CDROM or ftp site from /tools to your hard disk 2. run bootinst 3. Reboot and use. Hope this helps.
