I've got no problems with System Commander and FreeBSD 2.1-Release. I got my version in early 1995. I believe it is version 1.34 or something like that. So maybe they could send you out a older version until they get the current one working. At that time SC didn't reconize the FreeBSD partition. It says the type is "Unknown". But that doesn't keep SC from working. It just looks funny if you turn on Details on the boot menu. -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
