It allows you to press a function key on after rebooting to select the boot partition. (Be sure to install it AFTER installing 386bsd. Otherwise 386bsd doesn't install cleanly.) - The formidable Mr. Julian Elischer wrote a cool little 386bsd "fdisk" program. You can run fdisk from unix without going through an intermediate reboot. I recommend getting both of them. Where are they, sez you? Look for them, sez I. Seek and ye shall find. :-) -- Daniel "un?X" Ortmann (talmid) NDSU Electrical Engineering ortmann@plains.nodak.edu shalom Fargo, North Dakota
