Hi all

 I've installed DOS and BSD on a friend's machine. The only problem occurs 
 after I installed BOOTEASY and got to the menu where I have to choose 
 between DOS and BSD. If I choose DOS - it goes to DOS ok. If I choose
 BSD the machine resets itself and I have to go fdisk /mbr to get rid
 of BOOTEASY. The machine then goes to BSD automatically.

 Does anyone know why it does this?

 Can suggest alternatives to BOOTEASY and where I may be able to find it?

 Any help will be appreciated.
 
 Thanx
  Greg
