I run somewhat similiar setup on my personal computer. I have a 6GB hd with Windows2k and FreeBSD4.0-RELEASE Always install the MS operating system first as it will overite your MBR without asking. Additionally, whatever OS you install first should be the first partition on your hd I use the default freebsd boot manager. If I select the dos option windows2k boot manager then starts and I can use it. I haven't had any problems with this setup yet If I can be of more help email me partition 1 MBR ??? partition 2 Windows2k 2.9 GB partition 3 FreeBSD4.0 3.1 GB E-mail : gollucci@wam.umd.edu On Sat, 10 Jun 2000, John Saylor wrote: > Hi > > I use wind2k where I work and want to install FBSD.
