Hi all OK, trying to get a machine to dual boot FreeBSD 4.3 and W2K. I have two IDE drives. The pri drive has W2k loaded and the sec drive is fBSD. I've tried everything to get this machine to dual boot. Install fbsd then w2k, then w2k/fbsd, diff partitions, diff drives with no success. I've frantically searched lists/web docs but nothing seems to work. Here's my current boot.ini fyi..... [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)="FreeBSD Unix" C:\boot0 = "FreeBSD 4.2 0" C:\boot1 = "FreeBSD 4.2 1" C:\boot2 = "FreeBSD 4.2 2" I copied the bootX files from the CDROM #2 disk from /boot to c:\ Also, if I tell bios to boot C,A,SCSI then W2k loads (with the boot options from boot.ini above but none of the specified fbsd options work, machine just says either "boot error" or "PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT". However, if I tell bios to boot D,A,SCSI the fbsd boots normally. In a sane world I would be happy with this solution however the W2k is for use by "none" *nix people so I'd much rather the boot loader system works. Anyone any ideas?
