: 2.1's boot manager program?

I've used both OS-half and os-bs to boot from a second disk (SCSI). I
first installed OS-half which worked fine. I then dumped OS-half and
installed DOS/Windows and os-bs which also worked fine (apart from the
having to type hd(1,a... at the prompt). I then re-installed FreeBSD,
since I had made a serious mistake 8/ in updating the old version..,
and suddenly booting with os-bs says "no operating system" (I guess
it's the bios that says this).
 I'm now booting off a diskette 8).

For you information - draw your own conclusions. Good luck
