Hi when the CD arrives I want to install FreeBSD 2.0
on the second partition (NT is on the first).
Q1: I have heard of some problems with the boor managers
and NT. Does FreeBSD have inbuilt boot manager or is os_bs
the way to go.
Q2: Does os_bs work ok with NT on partition 0 and other (BSD)
on partition 1 ?
Q3: I use a SCSI disk which has different number of sectors
on inner Vs outer tracks. Also the number of cylinders
actual (2570) is reported as 1019 and the number of actual
heads (14) is reported as 66 by the SCSI controller (this
gets around the BIOS 1024 limitation). Is this going to be
a problem for BSD ?
Many thanks in advance ?
