FreeBSD and Linux people, I have a PC which I want to boot as windows, FreeBSD, and Suse 10.1 Linux. Currently, FreeBSD boot0 menu shows both Windows and FreeBSD as boot-able. The FreeBSD boot0 menu does not show the Linux OS (which I just installed). So, I did some reading of the FreeBSD handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html It suggests that I have 2 ways to solve this problem: 1. Configure the FreeBSD boot0 menu so that it can boot Windows, FreeBSD, and Linux Or, 2. Replace The FreeBSD boot0 menu with LILO Boot Manager I like option 1. Q1: How do I add Suse 10.1 Linux to the FreeBSD boot0 menu? As for option 2, if I want to try LILO, I'll need to toss my FreeBSD boot0 menu in the trash. Q2: If I cannot get LILO to boot FreeBSD, how do I boot get FreeBSD to boot and then how do I restore my old FreeBSD boot0 menu? Thanks, -Dan
