However, after reading the documentation on the 1024 cylinder boot limitations I am now wondering whether that is a smart approach. Would it be better to go for a twin HD disc machine to overcome these problems. e.g. 10Gb for Windows and separate 20Gb drive for FreeBSD. FreeBSD will be my primary operating system, Windows for specific non UNIX software.
