I installed BSD on an IDE successfully.  The I moved the drive to be a 
slave and had a DOS IDE be master.  I then installed booteasy that was 
suposed to let me select which drive to boot from.

I can boot from the DOS, however when I select FreeBSD on the second 
drive I get the message - Can't find 386BSD.  I surmise that is the 
name the partition was given during installation.

I am stuck - I would like to have both OS's in one machine - And it looks 
plain ugly to have the drives hanging out so I can change the Master 
Slave status for booting the different OS.....
