Will it work? I have two hard drives and put Windows 2000 in the first drive and FreeBSD in the second drive. Windows 2000 is installed using NTFS. After installing FreeBSD, the boot manager says: F1 ?? F5 Drive 1 Pressing F5 goes to: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 0 FreeBSD was installed successfully and I can log in to FreeBSD without any problems. BTW, is there any documentation on how to use the new X configure tool in sysinstall? However, I encountered an error when logging into Windows 2000. I typed in my user name and password and then saw a popup dialog saying there is an error in virtual memory table or something (don't remember the exact message). And then it goes back to the logging screen. I can't get to the desktop at all. What is wrong here? Can I recover Windows 2000 on the first drive or do I have to re-install it? Thanks in advance.
