I have 3 hard drives.

PRIMARY CONTROLLER:

1) Master=20 - 6.4 UDMA - FAT32 - Win98 Boot

2) Slave - 6.4 = UDMA - FAT32 -=20 Storage

SECONDARY=20 CONTROLLER:

1) Master=20 - 540meg - FreeBSD

2) 32x = CDROM

Now when I installed freebsd, and install the = bootmgr, I have=20 tried installing it on the 540 megger, AND on the Master 6.4 (thinking = that the=20 machine would need the bootmgr on the MBR of the MAIN disk) and NOTHING = works...=20 it just basically boots straight into win98 every time. I have = also set=20 the 540meg and the master 6.4gig to BOOTABLE, before installing the=20 bootmgr... (I install the Easy boot option) and nothing is = working... its=20 driving me nuts.. I get no menu, nothing, just as if I never installed=20 Freebsd... am I missing something?

I think I remember reading a Unix or linux system = has to be=20 either on the master primary, or the master of the secondary disk = controller...=20 so that is how I have it setup... but it still won't = work...

Please let me know how to set this up.. I can just = boot off=20 the floppy and do some post-configuration settings.

Thanks!
