I'm sending this email to just log what I did to get a dual-boot xp/bsd 5.2.1 toshiba laptop up ... 1. I used a bootable linux cdrom that had qtparted on it to repartition the harddrive to shrink the 60GB Win XP partition into three partitions, half for Win XP, a small fat32 partition for communication, and the rest for a FreeBSD slice. I used a bootable gentoo recovery cd that had qtparted on it. The BSD boot manager boots both os'en ok. qtparted was very simple to use. 2. the toshiba would not boot BSD, disabling acpi did nothing useful. The following is what did the trick ... set hw.pci.enable_io_modes="0" Jim Binkley jrb@cs.pdx.edu
