Sci. Lines: 30 Message-ID: <5g53ks$17e@nyx.cs.du.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: nyx.nyx.net Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:36934 Greetings, I am trying to setup my PC to dual boot between FreeBSD and Win95. I have 2 hard drives. The primary drive is an IDE dedicated to Win95. The 2nd SCSI drive is dedicated to FreeBSD. When the machine boots, I only see the DOS ....F1 followed by a default: F1 line. I am unsure but somehow I may have accidently skipped the step that installs the FreeBSD boot manager on my 2nd hard drive (this drive is dedicated to FreeBSD). I am not sure at this point how to fix this problem. I was able to boot off of the installation floppy and after I typed the appropriate command after the boot: prompt (which I can't recall now !), the machine booted up correctly under FreeBSD from the 2nd drive. How can I setup the machine to do Win95 when I press F1 and FreeBSD (from my 2nd SCSI drive) when say, I press, F2. Your (detailed) email responses will be highly appreciated.
