Hi, My latest anguished wrestling with the dual-boot issue occurred yesterday, when adding FreeBSD to a laptop that had a happy Slackware installation on it produced a machine that would only boot to the message "missing operating system." I have since reinstalled Slack, and have LILO installed via that process. In order to =leave that the hell alone= so that I can edit LILO and add FreeBSD to the LILO menu, I want to choose "Leave MBR untouched" in the FreeBSD install, correct? Because I could swear I -did- that, and yet ... wound up with unreachable OSs. Sorry if this is in the F'inManual ... it's not been a good weekend and I'm frustrated. :) Didn't think I'd have to install both of these yet again.
