Do I have to do a >re-install or is it possible to just to the boot manager part. Try downloading OS-BS. I installed it after I installed FreeBSD. I had a similar setup to you (sort of). My main drive is a 1GB partitioned into 2 x 500MB for Win95. My second drive (80MB... I set it up just for testing a FreeBSD install on this system) contained ONLY FreeBSD. OS-BS simply asked for the bootable partitions. Drive 1 boots Win95, drive 2 boots FreeBSD. No problemo. Oh... both drives were SCSI, tho. Hope this helps. Mail me for any other info. Pete
