It certainly can, using booteasy as your boot partition selector. The version I use is 1.4. It's available at FreeBSD.cdrom.com, by anonymous FTP. I'm told that beta versions of os-bs will also let you boot from a second hard disk. Unfortunately, I can't tell you where to find the beta os-bs. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Tweten tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center, M/S 258-5 (415) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 FAX: (415) 604-4377
