Would you please show me how to install Booteasy manually. : I posted such question long time ago and did not get an answer. I simply ftp'ed ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools/bteasy14.zip and unzip'ed it. This utility can also be found on the FreeBSD CDROM in the \tools\dos-tools directory. Boot to ms-dos (if you can, otherwise use a dos boot floppy) and just ran bootinst. I "installed" it on both of my drives. (May not have been the most optimal way, but it works). Really quite easy. -- David O'Brien (dobrien@seas.gwu.edu -or- obrien@nuxi.com)
