I have BSD installed on my second ide hard drive.. 

I am booting it with boot easy that came on the install floppies

It will only bood the BSD drive when I tell the boot prompt where
the drive and kernel such as....  boot:wd(1,a)/kernel

I need this to be able to boot by itself.. what do I have to do to do 
this... is it in the disklabel or in the boot mangager...


thanks in advance..
