Let me explain my situation first: I'm 14 years old without my own PC. I can't let the FreeBSD bootloader install on the first drive (Windows XP), because my family is kinda...how should I put it...n00bish. They would completely freak out at the sight of turning on the computer and not seeing the XP startup screen. I'm planning on installing FreeBSD 5.2.1 on the second hard drive in this computer. I've read over the installation guide and don't see anything useful about the bootloader being on the non-first drive. My question is: can I install the FreeBSD bootloader on the second hard drive and use something like GAG on a floppy to boot it? ice -- 43rd Law Of Computing: Anything that can go wro
