It's the wife's Windows Millennium. The master is split up in two 6.5GB
partitions. I can probably resize the 2nd parition to free up some =
space for
a small /boot partition for BSD *before* the 1024th cylinder.

What do you think? Ideally, I'd want to leave the master disk =
untouched. I
tried BootMagic (from the PQMagic suite) and it doesn't seem to be able =
to
boot anything else than something on the master drive.

Also, when I did set up FreeBSD, I did not mark the / partition on my =
slave
disk as bootable. As far as I know, you can't boot off a slave disk.

Am I wrong?

Thanks again!

What do you have installed on the primary? Win98, WinNT, W2k...
