Good morning, FreeBSD enthusiasts. I am planning a multiple operating system installation on a Compaq Proliant 5000. The purpose of the installation is hobbyist and instructional. The computer does not provide network management services. The proposed operating systems are Windows 95, FreeBSD, and Windows 2000 Server. A fourth operating system may be added at a later date. Have you had any experience with any of the following boot manager programs that may suggest their relative applicability to this project? The boot manager programs I am considering include the following: LILO, GRUB, MATT, NTLDR/BOOT.INI, RANISH, and the boot loader that comes with FreeBSD, the name of which I do not know. Any information about positive or negative experiences with any of these programs in a multiple operating system configuration would be appreciated. Your truly, Lee Shackelford L e e underscore S h a c k e l f o r d at d o t dot c a dot g o v
