Greetings 

I have just installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 on the second drive in my computer.
Boot manager was installed so that I can choose between my DOS6 C drive
and FreeBSD D drive.  However, when I boot, the bootmanager is ignored
and the system always comes up as DOS.

Any ideas ?  The computer is a DEC venturis 66 with 270Mb C drive and 
340Mb D drive.  Does the boot manager have a problem with EIDE ?

Thanks

Jim
