I don't think so. Last time I checked, OpenBSD used one partition table per disk, not one per slice, and the FreeBSD table will screw it up. However, FreeBSD and Solaris can coexist with no problem. > If yes, what is the install sequence? I'm not sure it matters. Neither understands the others boots, so you need to install a boot manager that can deal with them both. GRUB works. > and how do make partition before installation? Don't. Make the partitions for each OS during the installation for that OS. If you install FreeBSD first, leave room for Solaris at the beginning of the drive. If you install Solaris first, it won't make much difference. Oh yeah - if you install Linux on the system, it will destroy your Solaris partition. At least the Linux distros I installed all did that. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
