Summary: '

I am using FreeBSD along with dos on my IDE hard drive.  I can boot 
either using the boot manager program that came with the FreeBSD 
installation.  However, I would like to configure the boot manager.

Is it configurable?  I would like the boot manager to *always* default to 
DOS.  The way it works now is that it will default to the last system you 
booted :( (not good when my wife wants to turn on the pc to use dos and 
she gets a 'login:' prompt!)

Thanks
