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
