Greetings, I am attempting to install FreeBSD 4.4 without damaging/altering the data on my first drive, that is if my hardware is compatible: Epox 8KHA+ w/ 10/11 BIOS X2 IBM 40GB 60GXP HD's Asus V7100 32MB GeForce2MX 400 512MB Crucial DDR Mem Netgear FA310TX NIC LG 16x10x40 CD-R Pioneer 10X DVD Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound card Right now, I have 8 partitions on Drive 0, a mix of NTFS and FAT32, with a tri-boot of Win98SE, Win2K Pro, WinXP Pro, without any problems. Drive 1 has two partitions right now (just set it up), starting with a 10GB and 20GB FAT32. would like to install FeeBSD on my second hard drive, to keep it away from my Windows world and I ould still like to be able to use some sort of boot manager/OS selecter. I have since this GRUB port fly by on the list, but do I need to install the OS first and sort of install Grub after so it recognizes that I have multiple OSes? The key is not to interupt all the data on my first drive... which is why the second drive is empty and ready to rock. Thanks, I really appreciate any help. --Dillion To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
