Hello,
I have a computer with about 1.6 and 3.0 Gig disk drives,
partitioned into 250-300 MB partitions. I have Windows 3.1
and Linux installed, and will soon add Windows95 and perhaps
Windows NT. I would like also to add FreeBSD since I am
not entirely happy with Linux. However I can't find documentation
to answer the following questions:
1. Can FreeBSD easily coexist with the other Operating systems?
Can I boot FreeBSD from DOS; can I boot FreeBSD from
floppy and switch / to the hard disk?
2. Can FreeBSD read DOS FAT files, can FreeBSD read Linux
ext2 systems
3. I can use fdisk from Linux to create partitions
readable from DOS and Linux. Will FreeBSD recognize
these partitions?
Answers, or pointers to documentation that answers, the above
questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance
King Lee
