Date: 4 Sep 1995 02:03:24 GMT Organization: X + Open Systems Pty. Ltd. Lines: 27 Message-ID: <42dmpc$742@kettle.magna.com.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: xrated.xplus.com.au Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.3 After installing Windows 95, The BootEasy boot manager disappeared ! I can still boot either Win95 or FreeBSD by activating the relevent partition via fdisk :-( QUESTION: How can I re-install the BootEasy Boot Manager onto a wd0 disk (half Win95 and half FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE) I have been looking at disklabel and have located the bteasy17 file in /usr/src/release/sysinstall. But, being the totally green FreeBSD'er that I am, I didnt want to start scribbling bootblocks without some confirmation/assistance from the masters. Thank you, wardb++ -- Ward D.
