(although i do it and nothing change) if not, where is boot manager and how should i use it? i think something should be done about boot partition (ada0p1), don't it? please help me to boot my 2 OS correctly. thanks in advance SAM On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 2:21 PM, Erich Dollansky wrote: > Hi, > > On Sun, 17 Nov 2013 13:51:07 +0330 > s m wrote: > > > hello every one > > > > for some reason, i want to install two freebsd9.2 OS on one SSD. is it > > possible?? i have problem in partitioning my disk for two OS. you know > > there is just one ada0 which can be partitioned. > > if i define more partitions on ada0, can i use some of them for the > > first OS and the others for second one? if yes, how can i manage > > booting? how and where should i install boot manager in order to > > manage them in booting time?? > > > > any comments or hints are appreciated > > it should be possible.
