: I have partitioned and installed Windows NT, FreeBSD, and Linux on my
: disk drive.  Now how do I tell the FreeBSD boot manager to boot the
: _other_ os'es?

: BootEasy just gives me something like 
: 1:sd(0,a)kernel  type ? for list
: and this is not easy for me to understand.  What are the magic words,
: so I can boot  1. Winnt  2. Linux   from the booteasy menu.  Also,
: how do I make Linux the default OS?

Thats not booteasy...
I think you may have not selected the correct option when you installed..
I don't know how to fix it though :/
