What is the best way to install FreeBSD, Windows 95 and WindowsNT on the
same hard drive?  I have a 3 gig drive partitioned as 3 one gig partitions.
 I have 95 on the first partition as FAT, NT on the second as NTFS, and the
third partition is currently formatted as NTFS.  I would like to put
FreeBSD on the third partion.  Should I reformat it to FAT or delete the
partition entirely before installing FreeBSD?  Will installing FreeBSD
affect the NT boot manager?  Will I be able to boot all three systems from
the NT boot manager?  Any help is appreciated.
