Hi all,

Just an easy question, I am looking at installing BSD on a 486DX66 with 
a 500Mb IDE hard drive. I have a couple of questions first though!


1: I want to set the drive up to be the first 300Mb for DOS and the last 200Mb
   for BSD. Will this be a problem?

   If not, I assume that there is some sort of DOS boot manager to select which
   system to boot into!

2: The 486 has only 8mb ram, will this still run at a reasonable speed?

That's really about it....

Any help anyone could give would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Dean Harry
