Somebody metioned a program named Winboot.exe for booting FreeBSD under Win95, would this boot it from the secondary drive, My first drive cannot be set up with FreeBSD as it is 100% FAT32, I have just installed a 1.2 Gb drive for playing with, I have it partitioned as 50% FAT16 and 50% FreeBSD, the Problem is that I don't want to install BootEasy as it I don't know how compatible or good it is at being friendly with FAT32 as that would be the drive it would have to be placed on. Does anyone know of a program that will boot FreeBSD from Win95, as mentioned before, it is on the secondary partition of the Secondary drive, if I boot from Floppy it just tells me that It can find kernel and gives me the boot: prompt, So, does anyone know about the following - winboot.exe booting FreeBSD from FAT32 How to boot from the secondary drive Why did they call Linux 'Linux' rather than 'Lunix' ??
