How can I do it? >Please help. You would do it by treating the Freebsd parition as a Dos partition when using Lilo. This *should* let you have a dual-boot system. On a releated subject, The freebsd-current (potentially buggy cutting-edge features) does have some support for the ext2 filesystem, so you should be able to access your Linux partition inside of freeBSD. Again, this is only true if you have a very recent version of FreeBSD (FreeBSD 2.1 doesn't have this, for example). -- Sam Trenholme - stren@netcom.com - http://ucsee/eecs/berkeley/edu/~set - LINUX!
