Sort of related to the questions about sharing a filesystem between freebsd 
and linux.  I'm about to do the same thing, have a machine that dual boots 
but I want to run a personal web server and have it sharing out the same 
content no matter which OS is running.  And this is just a personal 
machine, I have no experience with NFS nor do I have any machines doing NFS 
mounts.  From what I've been reading I'll go with ext2 on the shared 
filesystem.

Now to my question.  It's been suggested that I let booteasy (that is the 
freebsd bootloader right?) do the juggling instead of something like lilo 
or grub.  Is that right?  What are the reasons for this?  Does lilo have 
problems booting FreeBSD?


Any information would be appreciated.


Oscar
