I have a machine with a 10GB hard drive and a 40GB hard drive. The first drive (10GB) runs NT 4.0 and the second is divided in half (20 & 20 GB) runningFreeBSD and Linux on each half. Booteasy now boots NT and FreeBSD. I use a flopppy to bring up LILO to boot Linux because I don't really know enough about Linux to do otherwise. If I were to upgrade from NT to Win2000 on the first drive could I expect Booteasy to still work? If I wiped out NT and installed Win2000 fresh, could I then boot FreeBSD from a CD or floppy and then reinstall Booteasy from /stand/sysintsall and expect everything to be OK? I have read here on the list that FreeBSD supports mounting NTFS both as a kernel option and as a KLM. Having no plans to run Win9X is there any reason to avoid NTFS?
