By default, FreeBSD will install the boot manager on the disk that you installed FreeBSD on - but your BIOS isn't trying to boot from that disk, so it doesn't help. You can go back into sysinstall and tell it to install a boot manager on the first disk. Be _very_ careful, as you'll delete Windows if you choose the wrong options. I'm sorry that I don't remember the exact sequence to accomplish this. As has been said: make good backups first! You _only_ want to install the boot manager - not change anything else. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
