Hi,


I've MSDOS-5 and BSD Installed on my Hard-disc, the first 120MB for BSD and the 
remaining 80MB for DOS.  When I switch the PC on, the BSD boots ok. However, 
if I want to switch to DOS, the 'shutdown -todos' fails. I've tried using 
the 'OS-BS' program,  but that doesn't work either - choosing  DOS is ok, but
loops if I choose BSD.

Any suggestions as to how I can easily choose either DOS or BSD at boot time?


Thanks,
