I just had an article in the linux journal about booting issues and running dosemu...much of what I said can be modified for freebsd I always seem to have problems with booteasy...what I like is a dos based loader... Linux uses loadlin which works like a champ... freebsd had fbsdboot...it worked for a while, but when I got another machine (a packard bell), it can't boot properly anymore (I have to look more at it). What I'm doing is when I want to boot freebsd, I boot from floppy and quickly enter wd(0,a)/kernel There's a window based booting program, which idenifies the kernels correctly (so it can read the filesystem...I don't know why fbsdboot isn't working... What I now think I'm going to do is boot linux/windows/dos/freebsd out of a config.sys menu... Also, if booteasy was modified, can a newer version be put on simtel? -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom
