I have a 486 with FreeBSD installed on the first hard disk.  The 2nd disk
is totally devoted to DOS.  The boot manager works fine, but when I try
to boot the dos drive, it says "non system disk error."  I know this is 
because dos expects to be on the first hard drive.  Is it possible to 
somehow trick dos into booting off the second drive?  I don't want to
pollute my BSD partition with Dos  :)

Thanks,
