Well, ob-bs didn't work either. I went to the referenced site for
XOSL and it certainly looked interesting...but was way more than I was
looking for at this time (I was happy with the default FreeBSD installed
boot manager before W98 trashed it and I certainly didn't want to create
partion for it...which seemed to be required). On the XOSL web site I
found a refernence to the "Ranish Partition Manager" which I wound up
installing and it worked for me. :-)
Thanks,
Bob
