I just booted up pure DOS. run the GO.BAT from the CDROM. The tricky point is during FreeBSD's installation it will ask you if you want it to modify the MBR. Select none to that prompt. After the installation is complete, you reboot the system and at this time you wouldn't see FreeBSD in OS/2 Boot Manager's menu. You just boot into OS/2, use its FDISK program to add a Boot Manager label for the FreeBSD partition. Afterward you will see a label for FreeBSD in the Boot Manager's menu. /**************************************************************************/ /* Andrew Yau-Hwa Wu, San Jose, CA 95131, USA */ /* Internet: awu@netgate.net, 73113.2226@compuserve.com */ /*------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /* OS/2 Warped! */ /**************************************************************************/
