Date: 14 Nov 1995 20:52:16 GMT Organization: Dr. Fish's Answering Machine Lines: 23 Message-ID: <48avi0$5lk@news.map.com> Reply-To: jay@map.com NNTP-Posting-Host: ppp84.map.com X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.2.5 Has anyone successfully installed FreeBSD on a second HD with OS/2 on the first and used OS/2's Boot Manager to boot FreeBSD? I'm about to install FreeBSD, and was wondering if anyone has had to (or wanted to) do this, and what they did to get it working. A second question for those in the know - If I make space on the first HD for a swap partition, will the FreeBSD fdisk mark it as something other than a DOS or OS/2 partition? I wouldn't want OS/2 to think another partition has appeared, since that would certainly confuse OS/2 as to where it is booting from. (Yes, I did look at the Install and handbook files - but didn't notice anything on these topics. Either an answer or a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.)
