My question is what is = the best way to handle the install on this, Will NTLD be able to load = both of these OS's or would I be better off installing a third party ap = such as boot magic to handle the boot load process ? I really do not = want to have the FreeBSD's boot loader overwrite NTLD and end up having = to reinstall 2000 on this machine. Any help would be greatly = appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
