I just set up this box that has Windows 2000, Linux Mandrake 7.1 and FreeBSD -CURRENT installed. It cost me couple of days. My lessons learned: 1. Start with Windows 2000 installation 2. Install FreeBSD second 3. Do Mandrake last Have or create boot/rescue disks for FreeBSD and Linux around - they might come very handy. Problem. We use Mandrake Linux with the Reiser file system. I believe that was the reason, why I can't use FreeBSD's Booteasy as boot loader. For now I have to stick to the grub boot loader from the Mandrake distro because that is the only one that is able to boot all three OS's Can some hacker confirm if booteasy needs to be made Reiser FS aware or not? For lack of a better idea, I use a FAT32 partition for data that has to be shared between all three OSes.
