Dear Sir, I installed FreeBSD off my Walnut Creek CDROM onto my second (slaved) physical hard drive into a 2G partition of a 6G hard drive. I then installed Windows NT 4.0 into the rest of the second drive. The first drive (4G master) is all Windows 95. Both drives are connect to the same IDE controller. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get FreeBSD's boot manager to come up. The only way I can boot FreeBSD is using the boot floppy and the command: 1:wd(1,a)kernel. I have tried using BOOTINST.EXE in the /TOOLS directory. Every time I run it, I get the following error messages: Cannot write to file bootsav.bin Cannot write to file boot2sav.bin Is it possible to install FreeBSD's boot manager without reinstalling FreeBSD? If so, how? Can Windows NT's "OS Loader" handle the task?
