Well, so far I installed a few ps's with freeBSD in the company where I
work.
We use them as printservers both for windows ( with Samba ) and Unix.
Our intranet server is also working on freeBSD.
So far I like it much more than Linux.
I thing you can see that Linux is made by different people on different
places.
But now I want to install freeBSD on a leftover partition on my second
harddrive.
My first drive is full with windows95, an my second with windowsNT, exept
for that 200Mb partition.
I installed freeBSD, fine but i think it puts the loader on the second
drive, because my computer starts up with windows.
With Linux the was a utility called loadlin wich could fix the problem.
Is there something like that with freeDSB?
And my last question, how to tell BSD I have a ide cdrom on my second
controller?
