 Confidential:   no
 Synopsis:       booteasy cannot handle empty partition.
 Severity:       non-critical
 Priority:       low
 Category:       misc
 Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386
 Class:          sw-bug
 Environment: 
 
 	PC with SCSI HDD that has multiple partitions includes an empty or
 	unrecognizable(by booteasy) partition.
 
 Description: 
 
 	Booteasy searches its recognizable HDD partitions and creates its list.
 	For example, my HDD has the 3 partitions as follows:
 	  1)  DOS  (FAT)
 	  2)  NT4  (NTFS, Booteasy cannot recognize this partition.)
 	  3)  FreeBSD
 	In this case booteasy creates a partition list and show a boot menu as:
 	  F1  DOS
 	  F2  FreeBSD
 	So I push F2, booteasy cannot boot from the FreeBSD partition because
 	FreeBSD is in the 3rd partition.
 	
 	Although using OS-BS instead of booteasy seems to be a nice solution,
 	OS-BS cannot handle NT4.0SP3(J).  I cannot boot DOS and NT4 and FreeBSD.
 
 How-To-Repeat: 
 
 	perfectly repeated as the above mentioned.
 
 Fix: 
 	
 	sorry, i don't know.
