Hey.. even I don't know what I'm doing 8-) I have three hard disks in my system, the first is a 4.3 Seagate running Win98 and large disk support (LBA in BIOS), the second is a WD 2 gig with Linux Mandrake installed (NORMAL mode in BIOS), and the third is a Quantum Bigfoot 2 gig running FreeBSD 3.2. This is how they sit in the machine: IDE controller 1: Seagate 4.3 (Drive 0) CD-ROM (Drive 1) IDE controller 2: WD 2gig (Drive 2) Quantum 2 gig (Drive 3) At the moment I have to switch the boot drive in the BIOS for each OS, eg boot from E then A etc'. The MBR of Drive 0 now contains the FreeBSD boot loader and I can select Win98 or FreeBSD (it didn't seem to find Linux!). To boot Linux I have a floppy disk. I would like to have all three OS' available from the boot loader. I have also tried to use LILO for this task but again no luck. I know I'm being greedy and really should decide to get rid of one drive, but I do like to learn as much about each OS as possible. Regards, Kev.
