How does it > work if you have windows on ad0 and freebsd on ad1. You put a copy of the FreeBSD MBR on both disks. The BIOS will start the first one it sees. Then, if it is the FreeBSD MBR, it will look and see if there is a second bootable disk and give you a choice of booting what is on the first disk or going to the second disk. If it goes to the second disk, that MBR will give you a choice of booting what is on that disk (and I think, going back to the first one). ////jerry > > > > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NT-BOOTLOADER > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
