Hi,

I have reinstalled the FreeBSD on a computer with a 1.2 gig hd 
running Win95(c:drive), and a 1.6 gig hd (e:drive) which was 
completely empty.  I installed the FreeBSD on the 1.6 gig drive (the 
1.6 gig is set up on the 2nd IDE controller as master, the 1st IDE 
controller has the 1.2 gig hd as master, and a IDE CDROM drive 
(d:drive)  as slave).  

I was sucessfully able to load FreeBSD, but I missed something 
in setting up the BootMgr.  Now the system will only boot to win95, 
the opsys on the c:drive.

I have gone over the docs thouroughly, but I am still not clear about 
setting up the BootMgr software without losing all data on my 
c:drive.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Charles
