I'd like to set up a dual boot machine (DOS/Windows and FreeBSD).
I have several questions:

Does FreeBSD have a boot manager?
(Assume I'd get the Walnut Creek CD-ROM)

Can I use the OS/2 boot manager?

If I can use either, which do you suggest?

Can I have a DOS-formatted disk in my system that can be seen
from both the DOS/Windows world and the FreeBSD world?

Thanks,
Scott
