I originally installed 2.2.5-R from CDROMs I had available, with Wind 95 on Primary Master and Primary Slave, FreeBSD on Secondary Master. The boot manager never worked; probably 'cos my Win95 disks were FAT32. I then started from scratch and d/l'd 3.1-R, and installed (eventually). I foolishly didn't install a boot manager on my Primary Master, thinking the old one (which I never uninstalled) would now work. Boy was I wrong! It still just gives me the F1? prompt. So; I want to one of two things: * install a proper boot manager on the relevant disks without having to wipe any data (/stand/sysinstall seems to want to do that before it installs any boot managers); * or, create a dedicated boot disk that will boot up wd(2,a)kernel for me. I've got a broken fixdisk that allows me to type in wd(2,a)kernel each time, which is *such* a pain :) Want one that does it for me :) Ideas? Suggestions? Money?
