Here's what I have.. IDE Primary master - Win95 IDE Primary slave - Linux IDE Secondary master ATAPI CD-ROM IDE Secondary slave - BSD I go through the novice install and everything looks fine. After the system reboots I find that the Linux loader is still on my boot drive. Is there a way to boot BSD from a floppy so I can get into it and then get it configured? Or A) just use a floppy to install the boot manager B) use the Linux loader to start BSD Thanks.
