IDE HD. I then installed FreeBSD 3.3 on what was left over. I installed BootMgr on the boot partition. Now, when I boot, I get something like: F1: DOS F2: FreeBSD Default F1 But the only key that has any effect is F1. I can press F2 until the cows come home, and nothing happens. If I hit F1, it boots into W95 just fine. I tried booting from floppy, but can't figure out how to see the HD (disk1) with this process. The handbook seems to be out of date on page 101 (3rd Edition) where it says: Boot from the floppy disk, but when the prompt appears, enter: Boot: hd()kernel I've installed FreeBSD many times, from 2.2.5 to present, but never tried to share a disk with W95 (or boot a kernel on the HD with the current 2 floppy boot process). __o -\<, Don't steal rolls 0/ 0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
