Hello,

I just got the FreeBSD 2.0 CD, and am trying to install it on a new disk 
I just put into the system.  The new disk is not the boot disk, I go 
through the instructions fine until it gets to the point where it says 
"reboot your computer and follow instructions..."  When I reboot, I am of 
course put back into MS-DOG from the boot drive.  I don't have a backup 
of the boot disk, thus I didn't want to re-partition it for FreeBSD.  IS 
there a way to make this work?

Thanks,
-joe
