i am having problem with the MBR after a DOS install on systems with 2 
HD's.  the boot prompt flip around without booting ...

F1 disk1
F5 BSD

F1 BSD
F5 disk2

etc, etc.

eventually dos boots if you bang on enough F keys ...

what's my problem (or BOOT.FLP's problem ...)

also, i need to set up BSD as a TCP/IP server running an SNMP manager.  i 
will need to have a manager/agent setup to work a UDP/IP/SNMP 
(CMU code) embedded system into.  any help appreciated.  i've been a 
hacker for 15 years, but i'm a little lost in this network stuff.  any 
configuration that would allow a working SNMP testbed that would be easy 
to play with is best.  is it possible to do with null modem cables so i 
could intercept frames and check them out?
