I am impressed! Thanks to all for more than a job well done. I have my 200 MB partitioned with 80 MB for DOS and 120 MB for BSD. I've read 386BSD.FAQ and BUGLIST so I understand that shutdown -todos does not work. Currently, I've been using the boot off floppy technique (then FDISK to change active partitions). Question: IS there a utility available which provides partition selection at boot time? Do I have to re-install everything both DOS and BSD to use such a tool? ...Mark Mark Ganter/Univ of Washington/Dept of Mech Engr/FU-10/Seattle, WA 98195 USA ganter@u.washington.edu
