You will find more explanations on http://www.freebsd.org TfH PS : do not forget to install a boot manager on your first disk (you can install FreeBSD's boot manager BootEasy to choose which OS you want to start DOS, BSD or Linux) > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Thierry Herbelot <thierry.herbelot@alcatel.fr> Phone : (+33) 1 46 52 47 23 Home Page : http://perso.cybercable.fr/herbelot To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
