Hi! my name is John.  I have just received FreeBSD and I am tring to
install it on a second drive ie: drive 0 - C:500M DOS, E:500M DOS, F:600M
DOS, G:CD drive.  drive 1 - D:40M DOS & 500M BSD(this is my FreeBSD slice
of the second drive).  I can not make the system boot BSD.  I have tried
setting up the boot manager but when I do nothing will boot.  I am new to
Unix and I do not totally understand harddrive configurations and
bootstraps.  Is there someone that can give me detail instructions as to
how to get my system working?  All I really care about is that I use one
drive for DOS and the other for BSD.  Preferably the 1.6 G drive (drive 0)
for DOS and the 540 M drive (drive1) for BSD.

Thanks very much for any help anyone can give.

John
