Or, just how do you do it? - Booting off a FreeBSD CD, partition 256 M /, 1GB DOS, >1GB /usr, eventually break /tmp, /home, and/or /var into separate partitions. Install the system. - Booting of W2k, format the DOS partition and install W2k - From the FreeBSD CD, install and configure the OS-BS boot manager Alternatively, start with w2k and leave room for both the / partition and the rest of the BSD system. The crucial point is to have both Winblows C partition and FreeBSDs / partition within the bootable area of your BIOS.
