WIN95 on first IDE drive, 1st controller, CD on as slave on controller 1. Second controller has IDE as master with Freebsd only installed. I don't quite follow what you mean by "visit" the first drive. I was confused when the disk option appears twice (once for the install and once for the BootManager). Also, there was another post that reccomended the following boot parameters for booting off controller 2 master (haven't tried it yet) 1:wd(2,a)/kernel Any thoughts ? It looks like my install was successsful....but. I ultimately want to boot using a boot manager and not off of floppy.
