You can find it as bteasy14.zip on freebsd.cdrom.com in the dos-tools directory. It allows you to select the partition or drive to boot from at system bootup. I have FreeBSD 1.1-BETA mounted completely on the second drive. and am able to boot it without a problem. -Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Parker CIS Mail: CSI:PPARKER CompuServe Inc.
