I selected the installation to take place on the second drive
and chose the "bootEasy" option as the boot manager.  Since the
boot manager appears to be the probelm, how do I go about "installing
it from DOS"?  The installation guide doesn't seem to offer any
tips on doing this.  If I use fdisk after booting with the Windows
emergency boot disk I can set the DOS partition to active and
Windows will boot when I reset the system but it doesn't seem
to know about FreeBSD.  Also, since my SCSI card is at IO Port
address 0x334 instead of 0x330 as expected per the installation
doc, will the boot manager be installed properly if I attempt to
do it from dos?
