Thanks, but I'm still not very clear. The situation is:

I install the FBSD on my MASTER disk with Easy Boot Mgr option. Win95 is
installed on the SLAVE disk without Easy Boot Mgr option. At this time,
I can only boot from FBSD when both of these 2 disks is connected to the
machine, can't switch to boot from Win95. Is it necessary to install the
Easy Boot Mgr option on my slave disk? Will it work? U know if it ruins
the Win95 data on the SLAVE disk, I have to backup the Win95 data and
system and reinstall the 95 and my data files.

What is "a standard MBR"?

Yup! The FBSD is on my Master disk! What do u mean "leave the Win95 disk
untouched"? Do I have to reinstall the Win95 on the Master and FBSD on
the Slave so that it's possible dual booting?

Thank u.
