I am considering installing NT workstation and FreeBSD on one machine. Before I go and do the dual-boot I would like to know whether it is going to work or not, before I crash everything. According to NT installation manuals, NTLDR (NT loader) is run from MBR, which in turn starts the NT loading process, which includes the bit that lets you decide between booting NT and Dos. I was thinking of making booteasy point to NTLDR. Does booteasy modify the MBR so that I can load, amount other things, FreeBSD boot, and NTLDR? Thus, will this plan work? If this plan does not work I am planning to use Richard Brooksby' scheme(questions@, Sep 1995)? In this case where do I find the FreeBSD boot sector? All comments will be appreciated. Edward Ing
