I am new in the world of FreeBSD, and I'd like to now how to install FreeBSD on my slave drive, considering that on my master HD I have : - Win XP ;p - Linux (mandrake 8.0) - lilo to boot on the MBR Should I install FreeBSD 4.5 on my slave drive, then not touch on my MBR and finally configure lilo to make it boot FreeBSD form te slave drive ? Or must I install the FreeBSD on my MBR ? But then will it recognize my lilo and windosd partitions (oups, slices) ? What kind of boot manager should I install (BootMgr, standard, none) ? Secondly, is the msdos format in fstab compatible with vfat and vfat32 ? I am looking forward to your answer, since I am not very confident with such installation. Thanks, olive --------------------------------------- Olivier DAVY ENSIMAG engineer - HEC Master E-mail : olivier.davy@free.fr tél : +33/(0)1.39.67.89.39 --------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
