i've installed 2.1.5 BSD 5 times - to verify this problem.  the boot.flp 
installation from a DOS partition on a PC with 2 HD's (my laptop has one, 
and it is ok ...) gives a MBR that prompts

F1 disk1
F5 BSD

F1 BSD
F5 disk2

...

...

then when you select, it swaps around endlessly.  eventually i get my dos 
partition, usally by banging on my F keys for a while.  but i never get 
BSD to boot.  i wish they'd get their BSD package together before 
RELEASing it.  i've had to download BSD multiple times for one reason or 
another.
