I have XOSL installed as = my boot manager, in Drive 1, Partition 1. I have Windows 2000-Pro on Drive = 1, Partition 2. I want to install FreeBSD 5.0 on Drive 2, but use XOSL to = load it.=20 Should I install FreeBSD using the "Standard" MBR option, or should I = use the "BootMgr" option? I *think* I would want to use the standard, = because it seems like the BootMgr option would install in the MBR of Disk 1 and NOT Disk 2, thereby goofing up XOSL (which is what I'm trying to avoid!). Thank you, Craig
