I have ms-dos 6.22 on my first hard disk, and have installed freebsd on my second hard disk.

These hard disks are each IDE 526M. 1024 cyls

The problem that I am having is:

The boot program that I installed from freebsd, on the first hard disk is unable to 
boot freebsd from the second hard disk.

Where is a master boot program, simular to the markwilliams coherent master boot 
program, that will allow me to boot freebsd?

Thanks,
R. WIlliams (rkwill@iquest.net)
