Hi list,
I have installation issue here at my machine, it's P-II 350,
with 30 GB hard disk.
Installed in this machine Win2K in the first 27 GB, Linux
SuSE 6.1 in the 27-28 GB range, I use Win2K loader to load
Linux, I moved the boot/kernel files to Windows first
partition so that the Linux Loader don't complain about
being installed beyond 1024 cyl. limit.
Is it possible to install FreeBSD 4.3 in the last two GB on
this hard disk? And still use Win2K loader to load FBSD.
Will I need to move something to < 1024 cyl. so that it can
load or something.
Another question, does sysinstall install FBSD loader on the
MBR or the FreeBSD root partition?
In other words, do I just install FBSD 4.3 and
dd if=/dev/rwd0a of=/fbsdboot bs=512 count=1
And then use this file to load from Win2K loader or do I need
to do something special?
I searched the archives, but come up with nothing appropriate,
I searched google; same result.
Later,
Tamer
