- This will cause the system to go into single-user mode, and
- the install profile will be active (i.e., you will find the
- commands load_fd, extract etc available to you again).
+ This will cause the system to go into single-user mode. To
+ get the install commands active again issue this command:

+ . /magic
+
+ If your disk has several operating systems, you may want
+ to install a boot manager such as Thomas Wolfram's os-bs
+ for selecting which system to boot. os-bs135.exe and other
+ boot managers are available from the tools directory of
+ the FreeBSD FTP site. os-bs works well with DOS, OS/2,
+ FreeBSD and other systems, however, it cannot currently
+ be used to boot FreeBSD from a second hard disk. Another
+ boot manager, such as boot-easy should be used.
+
+ To install, for instance, os-bs, boot the system with
+ MS-DOS and insert the dos-floppy containing os-bs135.exe
+ in floppy drive A:. Then enter the DOS commands:
+ > A:
+ > os-bs135
+ > cd os-bs
+ > os-bs
+ A menu should now appear on the screen. Use the cursor keys
+ to highlight the install option, hit ENTER, and follow the
+ instructions from there.
+
+ For more information about the ob-bs program, including its
+ capabilities and limitations, see the file `readme.1st' in the
+ os-bs directory.
+
+ If your disk has several operating systems and you choose
+ not to install os-bs, then fdisk can be used to change
+ the boot system. This is done by making the primary
+ partition for the boot system active. FreeBSD has an
+ fdisk command that can be used for this purpose as well.
