I have a primary IDE drive and a SCSI drive installed. My first drive is partitioned with 3 primary partitions to boot DOS, Win95, and NT 4.0 Workstation. My SCSI drive has a FAT partition (Win95 stuff), an NTFS partition (my NT stuff), a partition for LINUX, and a partition for FreeBSD. How do I tell the installation program that I want to use the SCSI drive for FreeBSD? I already use a boot manager for my other operating systems so it doesn't matter where I put an OS. FWIW, I am testing some Internet software with UNIX systems. Please, no OS hate mail - I get enough of that here already. I appreciate any serious replies (without the Microsoft bashing). Thanks in advance, Brian Matsik Microsoft Corp.
