Hello,
I want to get a dual boot config working, but can't seem to.I have a
2.5G EIDE HD, that I want with a 500 meg FreeBSD partition, a 500 meg
primary bootable DOS/95 partition, and a 1500 meg partition. What are
the requirements for me to get this working properly? It seems like I
can't ever get this right, first time I installed FreeBSD fine,
installed fine to dos, but then when I tried installing Win95 it seems
to overwrite the Master Boot Record, which deletes my Boot Manager,
leaving me un dual bootable. If I install Windows 95 first, it seems
like FreeBSD wants to repartition my hard drive, then again deleting
Windows 95 and everything else. Please help me get this working right!
I'm a 13 year old, but I'm pretty good with this stuff, just can't get
the darn things going!
