Hello all,

I'm starting to experiment with 386BSD on my system, and have a couple of
questions:

What boot block selector are people using? I tried dualbt43, and it doesn't
recognice the BSD partition, and DOS is my only choice. Before I installed
dualbt43, the BSD command "shutdown -todos" didn't work, responding with
"cannot make DOS active partition or something. This is on a SCSI drive.
