Hi,

Does anyone use FreeBSD 2.05R (or any version) with OS/2 Warp's
BootManager?  Are there any install tips available?  I've been using
BootManager with Linux for some time, so I know how to "fool"
BootManager into thinking there is an OS2/dos partition already.

With BM setup already, what do I need to do (if anything) to get
FreeBSD working with it?  For example, with Linux, I had to make
sure that LILO was not installed on the MBR, but on the Linux root
partition.

I've grep'ed the FreeBSD 2.05R CD files re: installation, relnotes etc.
but haven't matched on boot manager, so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks,
Mike
