From: Zaitsau, Andrei [mailto:AZaitsau@panasonicfa.com] Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2001 10:53 AM To: 'Kemokai, Saffa'; 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' Subject: RE: Mutlti-boot w/win2k professional I had the same configuration. The thing I did: 1) Created 2 partitions on Hard Drive 2) On the second partition I installed W2K Pro 3) I made 1st partition active and installed FreeBSD 4.1.1 4) I used FreeBSD boot manager. Whoalah, it worked ! I had choice between W2K and FreeBSD :) Andrei. Thanks Andrei: It does look exactly what I did except I used 2 separate drives - drive 0 holding w2k and drive 1 holding FreeBSD. I was hoping that by default, FreeBSD will load the bootloader on drive 0 or C. Maybe I do have machine situation since I started out doubting the Bios itself anyway...:) SaffA > Hello: I am not sure whether I have a machine problem per se or config problem trying to multi-boot FreeBSD 3.3 with Windows 2000 Professional. I had Win2k installed first. I later installed FreeBSD 3.3 making sure that BfreeBSD boot manager is accepted or included during the process of creating the slices. The installation completed fine but does boot to multi environment to select the OS I want to use. Instead, it boots directly into Win2k. Any ideas what needs to be done here?
