Hi, I am using Win98 dual boot with FreeBSD. and I am using xosl bootloader. I make a small partition for xosl (4MB should be enough for basic thing of the loader ). But you got options to use dos partition or dedicated one. For FreeBSD, you should not install booteasy bootloader during installation. Choose leave MBR alone. Thing left is just for u to set xosl by using its graphical interface.. really easy. I get it work the first time I try it. Have nice bootloader. -dmn On Friday 09 November 2001 06:34 am, shanon loveridge wrote: > Hello all, > I am just about to reinstall my system and start > using freeBSD however I am still undecided as to what > boot loader to use. > > I will be running Win98, Win2K and of course freeBSD. > > I have been looking into the Extended OS Loader > http://www.xosl.org and it looks really useful.
