You will however not have the option to boot in to FreeBSD. There is a bootmanager in the tools directory called osbsbeta.exe that you can install from windows that will work on multiple IDE disks and worked very well for me. Do not forget to backup your MBR, it is still in beta. Joel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the messagehelp
