The way I eventually solved it was to: 1. boot into Windows 95 2. copy the files tools\bootinst.exe and tools\boot.bin into C:\ 3. select "Reboot in DOS mode" from the "Shutdown" menu 4. run bootinst.exe This got things working, though I think it's a different version of boot manager since it refers to my FreeBSD partition as "386bsd" whereas the original one referred to it as "bsd". -- John Stark (jas@slugvine.demon.co.uk) 68 Stanley Road, Cambridge CB5 8LB Tel.
