My configuration: wd0 is Windows 95 only. wd1 is FreeBSD only. During the installation of FreeBSD 2.1R to wd1, I carefully chose none for the mbr or multi-boot code, but FreeBSD 2.1R still does something to wd0 which makes the Win95 hard drive unbootable. How to recover wd0.... Need to rewrite the mbr using Ontrack DM after booting from a DOS floppy. After that, need to reboot from a DOS disk one more time to set the DOS/WIN95 partition active on wd0 with fdisk. After that, everything is back to normal. 3 Questions: 1) Is there any chance that a future version of FreeBSD will truly not touch wd0? 2) And can fbsdboot.exe be made as an option to boot a kernel from wd1 instead of wd0? Or am I just missing the syntax somewhere? 3) Will FreeBSD 2.1R soon notice my Teac 4X Model 55A cdrom drive?
