Given that: - FDISK does not allow me to set partition (BSD) on my second disk to Active, - I did not load 'booteasy' (I was afraid booteasy could mess up my Win96/DOS 7 on the primary hard drive) Can somebody suggest how to boot either using a floppy and setting the root to /dev/... (hard disk) or loading booteasy (Does this work with Win95 ?). TIA Sridhar Krishnan
