I'm trying to *avoid* the OS/2 Boot Manager, since that would require major surgery to my disk partitions, and a lot of time restoring the Desktop from the existing configuration. I'm hoping to leave the existing Dual Boot setup alone, and use the FreeBSD equivalent of Boot Manager to select either 1) FreeBSD, or 2) DOS-OS/2 (whichever was Dual-Booted last). Is that a clearer statement of the question? Bruce Halco
