Ha.  Now that I got your attention, please read this.  I need major
help.
Right now, my system has Win95 and WinNT 4.0.  I threw in a spare 160MB
hard drive to install FreeBSD on.  But after the install, I can't get
the F? from the boot manager.  What exactly am I to do during the
install to get it to install corectly?  Or, do I need a third party
software? Plus, one other small question. I am newer than a newbie at
UNIX.  How exactly should I partion the 160? As of now, I have 20M for
/, 32M for swap, 50M for /usr, and 60M for /dev.  Is this correct?
Thanx.
