I loaded FreeBSD on my primary SCSI disk, and then I powered that one off and loaded NT on my secondary SCSI disk. Now I wish to teach Boot Easy to load one disk, or the other, but it's not very cooperative. I tried loading Boot Easy onto the NT disk's boot sector, but it didn't seem to help at all, and it didn't seem to want to load NT anyhow. Anyone tried this before? -- Sean Korb, Systems Programmer, IT&ECS at North Carolina State University 1965 A code and 1968 351C Mustangs, 1975 Factory 5.7L Monza, 1980 Honda CB750-F "Computers are useless.
