Hi !
I am new in the world of FreeBSD, and I'd like to now how to install
FreeBSD on my slave drive, considering that on my master HD I have :
- Win XP
- Linux
- lilo to boot on the MBR

Should I install FreeBSD 4.5 on my slave drive, then not touch on my MBR and finally configure lilo to make it boot FreeBSD form te slave drive ?
Or must I install the FreeBSD on my MBR ? But then will it recognize my lilo and windosd partitions (oups, slices) ? 
What kind of boot manager should I install (BootMgr, standard, none) ?

Secondly, is the msdos format in fstab compatible with vfat and vfat32 ?

I am looking forward to your answer, since I am not very confident with such installation.

Thanks,

olive
