That's because sysinstall is slightly brain-damaged, and puts the boot manager on the *second* disk. What you need to do is either of two: 1. When installing, tell the installation program to use *both* disks. 2. Or: Boot DOS (not MSDOS mode on Win95) and run bootinst.exe (or something like that) from /tools directory on the CD (or the ftp site). > --- > "I have a _cunning_ plan..." > - Baldric > "Dr. Who-o!/Dr. Who!/Dr. Who-o!/The Daleks!" > - The Timelords > "You dropped your rock" > - Mel Gibson > Byron Ellis (bellis@ucla.edu) Nadav
