Hi Danny,
I have no idea when the PlugNPray stuff will be in FreeBSD, but you
don't have to reboot - you can just run the "fbsdboot.exe" program
which is on the CDROM. It will launch FreeBSD for ya, and you can run
it as "fbsdboot -c" to run config, "fbsdboot -v" to run in verbose
boot, and so on...
"fbsdboot" work from Win95, too... If you have to... :-)
Good luck!
-Scott
