Before I install FreeBSD 4.4, I need to know if the boot program that =
comes with it will succesfully recognize and boot Windows XP (installed =
on a different (1st) hard drive using the NTSF file system). Also will =
the boot program boot my instalation of SuSE Linux 7.0, it is already =
installed, on a seperate partition, on the same (2nd) harddrive that I =
plan to put FreeBSD on. Will I be able to succesfully tri-boot between =
these operating systems? Or, if not, can I boot FreeBSD from a floppy =
disk (this is the way I boot Linux)?

Thanks

PS. Does FreeBsd support USB mice? (specifically the Logitech wheel =
mouse)
