(:-) Hehe... I like that there can be a little sense of humor on a kind of serious mailing list. I also have a question: I have BSD running on wd0 and dos on wd1. I know that the boot manager doesn't work if DOS is not on the MASTER disk. When I try to boot dos with a floppy it writes into the bsd boot block resulting in a crash. Which is the easiest way to switch DOS to the master disk and bsd to the slave disk without loosing any data, and get the boot manager working on the dos disk. Will BSD automatically find itself on wd1 if I switch the cables, rejumps the harddisks and change the info in the bios. Can I boot bsd from wd1 with the bsd boot disks, and if so, what do I type at the 'Boot:'-prompt. Thanks in advance, Ola Lulea University of Technology
