I have a P166 with 3 harddrives. It used to have OS/2 and Win95 but I killed them in order to install UNIX. I WILL install them back afterward as they are fully backed up elsewhere. I was previously using OS/2 Boot Manager but a few failed BSD install attempts ago (it works now) it was eliminated. It seemed to me that BSD attempts to install a bit of itself onto each and every physical harddrive. Is this true? I don't think it actually did this but some clarification would be nice. Anyways. I think I now have FreeBSD installed but I cannot get Boot Easy (which now launches upon boot) to give me the option to boot BSD (or OS/2). It does give me the DOS option though. Currently this is my only real concern right now. I have BSD set as bootable. But how do I tell Boot Easy to now start booting BSD and OS/2. Where is it's setup program? I am almost completely new to UNIX but I know DOS and Windows through and through (and hate them both). I also have a good understanding of hard disks and all that stuff as far I DOS is concerned (for example "mounting" is a foriegn concept). Any help would be appreciated, I realize you are probably bombarded with tonnes of email but haste is a good thing. I'll keep playing around, see what else new I can learn or even get it to work. Thanks, Derek 73642.3445@compuserve.com
