i put my money on the second option (even though booteasy is not "easy" to edit). what you can and should have done is showed us your partitions. take my case, i have a single 30GB ide hd partitioned into 3 - win98, linux, freebsd. in that order. one day i thought of installing freebsd where linux was installed. no luck. although i manage to create the freebsd slice i can't allocate that slice for the mount points. in the end i have win98, linux, freebsd. in that order. heh, back to where i started. 2cents. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ted Mittelstaedt <tedm@toybox.placo.com> To: Elliot Hanna <elliothanna@home.com> Cc: <questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2001 2:21 PM Subject: RE: FreeBSD Installation Woes > Is there any way you can do one of the following: > > a) get support for Boot Magic from the vendor? > > or > > b) Replace Boot Magic with the FreeBSD boot selector? > > > Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com > Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide > Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Elliot Hanna > >Sent: Friday, August 31, 2001 11:15 PM > >To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > >Subject: FreeBSD Installation Woes > > > > > >Hello, > > > >I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.2 on my computer and I'm running into > >problems.
