A real newbie question ... I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.8. Since I have also NT running on the system, I did not to install booteasy nor modify the MBR. For the moment I boot FreeBSD from the install disk, using "wd(1,a) kernel" at the boot prompt. The system configuration is as follows (HP vectra, PII 450 Mhz, 128 Mb RAM): - primary HDD (10Gb) entirely dedicated to NT, on the first controller as master - secondary HDD with 2 partitions (4Gb), first controller, slave: a very small DOS partition(7 Mb), just enough to allow HP power management utility to recognize the drive and put it to sleep when it's not used and the rest (so about 4Gb) dedicated to FreeBSD. I have tried to apply the method in the FAQ to boot via NT loader, but it does not work. Now the question : do I have any other options than the boot floppy to load FreeBSD on a system with Win NT installed ?
