Correct me if I'm wrong but given you have a 20 GB IDE disk with one half (the first half ) with a Win98 installed then there is no way with the present FreeBSD install disk set to boot a FreeBSD partition (installation) that is installed on the second half of that hard disk. So what is the way out of this dilemma? Are there 'better' bootloaders than the stock ones that the FreeBSD installation floppy uses? At least that was reported to me from a new user whom I recommended to install FreeBSD 3.4. He got everything installed fine. Wanted to boot the first time, F1 DOS, F2 FreeBSD and always ends with a ? when pressing F2. Why do new users have to fall into this trap? -- Chris Christoph P. U.
