You can make the boot floppy using makeflp.bat in the root dir of your FreeBSD CD Rom. But you probably don't need to. Simply install the boot manager (it's in either /tools or /utils on your CD, I always forget which). Boot under Dos, then type "e:\tools\bootinst e:\tools\boot.bin", assuming e: is your CD Rom drive. This will install BootEasy, which will enable you to boot from your second hard drive. Be aware, though, that it replaces any boot manager you might have installed already. - Mark
