Unfortunately I have to support Winbloze Lusers so I don't have much choice. Do I install WinXP first and then FreeBSD or vice versa ? Do I use the FreeBSD Boot Manager or should I just use the WinXP Boot Manager and alter the boot.ini file to include a FreeBSD bootup ? Any advice would be appreciated.
