I don't have experience with Win95, but usually this configuration does not work with comercial products (SCO, DOS, OS/2). The MBR of FreeBSD calls the Bootloader of Win95, but Win95 wants to boot from the first harddisk. The following may work: Install the FreeBSD MBR on the Win95 disk. Then you have to edit /etc/fstab in FreeBSD. FreeBSD must know where to find partitions. For this change wd0* to wd1* (see below). If you have done this use the Win95 disk as master and FreeBSD as slave. It would also be recommended to make a boot disk and a fixit disk. example for /etc/fstab: /dev/wd1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/wd1b none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 Franz EEG, Hard&Software Development Austria We have no kangaroos.
