Can the FreeBSD bootloader load multiple foriegn OS's? Oh-yes. My first system ran PC-DOS 7.0, Win 3.1, OS/2 Warp 4.0, and FreeBSD 2.2.5 all on one hard disk. I used FreeBSD's standard "booteasy" to startup. My current system runs FreeBSD 3.1-R, Linux Red Hat 5.2, and Win95 all mixed together on two hard disks. I have faith that the 3.2 bootloader can handle your situation. One gotcha- Don't place any FreeBSD partions between your linux boot partion (/ or /boot) and any of Linux's extended partitions. It can get ugly. ---------------------------------------- Marius mbking0@vm.sc.edu University of South Carolina, Columbia "We will get along fine once you realize that I am almost always wrong."
