Hello.
This is my first time that I write in this news.
I've installed minix on my pc where i have just intalled windows 98.
How I can do if I want to chose which S.O. use when I turn on my computer.
There's a program like bootmanager..........................
Actualy I can boot directly from windows 98 and for minix I have to use a
floppy.

Thanks a lot
Francesco

Windows has to be on the first partition of the first drive; the easiest
way is to have first a W98 partition, then a Minix partition, with the
Minix partition containing subpartitions for Minix filesystems. If you use
the bootmonitor and set the Minix partition active you can boot, say,
MDOS by default on a time-out and Minix if it's specially selected.
