I will try to install multiple os on my computer, there was no problem = when I had a small harddisk and windows 98. But this time I have a 30G = harddisk and windows 2000. The first problem I got was that I can not boot a os after 1024 sectors. So I wonder if I can make a small windows partion(2G), and then make a = small freebsd partion(5M) using "custom install". I will then make a = small Linux partion(5M) thing using fdisk in Linux. When installing = freebsd I mount the small freebsd partion to "/boot", and all other dir = to a new allocatede partion. Then I proceed with Linux in the same way. = I can then allocate the rest of the hard disk to windows. The next problem are how I should boot the system. I asume that I should = keep windows 2000 bootloader. But I don=B4t know what file in windows = 2000 I have to edit (have been told that file is named boot.ini in NT), = neither do I know what to right in that file. So please help!!
