I can't find any instructions on how to do this. From what I've read, I have to trash everything on the disk now because I have to create a new partition for Win95. I do have a tape backup drive so I should be able to restore what I have now onto the FreeBSD partition. Here are some questions I have: * Where do I get the boot manager I have read about? * If I'm using the boot manager, does FreeBSD have to be the default partition? * Is this the right order of steps: repartition the drive, install Win95, boot FreeBSD off a floppy, restore FreeBSD from the tape backup? * How do I restore FreeBSD from tape after I boot from the floppy? Thanks in advance. Keith Keith D. Kotay kotay@cs.dartmouth.edu http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~kotay
