Hey. I'm trying to run a dual boot FreeBSD/Windows98 system off of the same hard drive. What kind of partitioning limitations will there be? I remember reaidng about FreeBSD having to be located on a partition within 1024 cylinders of the head of the drive or something similar. Is that the case? I've been moving around partitions and reinstalling for about a week now. I've tried having a FAT32 partition at the front of the drive, with another for FBSD. They both installed, but when I was booting with the boot manager, I would press F2 and FreeBSD wouldn't boot. I repartitioned and put the FreeBSD partition in front. The boot manager still refuses to allow both to boot within reinstalling one or the other. This problem is driving me crazy. If anyone could help me out or point me towards the right FAQs, I'd be very appreciative. -Justin _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
