The trick is to get a bootmanager on the *first* drive that will either include the partitions on the second drive (OS/2's) or will pass control to a second boot manager on the second drive. This second can, I think, be done with BootEasy, possibly also (and perhaps better) with FreeBSD's other boot manager, which I haven't used. Annelise Annelise Anderson andrsn@hoover.stanford.edu
