Peer) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Re: Booting FreeBSD from NT Loader Date: 12 Apr 1996 02:05:18 GMT Organization: Golden West College Lines: 31 Message-ID: <4kkdou$d8c@spock.dis.cccd.edu> References: <4kjm2s$g11@cville-srv.wam.umd.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: mpeer.csc.gwc.cccd.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 I have NT, FreeBSD, DOS and Novell Netware 4.1 on one hard disk. I am using FreeBSD boot manager. For example: Hit F1 for FreeBSD, F2 for DOS, F3 for NT, Novell partition doesn't boot. Once you hit F3 for NT boot it will come up with standard message of NT, NT VGA, and DOS. Your off and running. I installed FreeBSD first, then NT, then DOS. The madness of my method is FreeBSD installs the boot manager. NT comes along and installs it NTDetect, and doesn't install a new boot manager. I FDISK for DOS partition, and format, etc.... The reason I instll DOS after NT is that NT will turn your DOS partition into an extended partition, and I didn't want to do that. I hope this helps.
