In the /tools/ directory there is a program that boots FreeBsd from an MS-DOS disk. (You may need to format it on a not-WinNT system, but try this anyway.) Format the disk so that it is bootable Copy the fbsdboot.exe program from /tools/ onto it. Create an autoexec.bat file with the "fbsdboot.exe" in it. DO NOT load EMM386 or equivalent on the disk! I assume you have the CDs so it should be on the first disk, if not, you can find it from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.8-RELEASE/tools/fbsdboot.exe Eric Hodel hodeleri@seattleu.edu Josh Crouse wrote: > > Im new to FreeBSD, i was writting to ask how can i load FreeBSD onto my > current machine that is running WinNT 4.0; and not use a boot manager to > launch into FreeBSD .. i want to keep FreeBSD in the backround and boot > into with a disk at my choosing .. how can i > accomplish this? > > Thanks, > Josh Crouse .. > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
