There shouldn't be a problem, you just have to allocate a primary partition for FreeBSD (*1) then during the install allow it to install 'booteasy' which should allow you to pick between booting 2 partitions. Don't forget to read the handbook because you need to make sure you go by the restriction that the FreeBSD partition be before the 1024th cyl. (*1) you can get a tool to resize partitions from the 'tools' directory called fips at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools enjoy and good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
