Hi there. I already posted this a week ago but got no asnwer... Hope to be more lucky this time... I have a problem, here... :( I have a pc with FreeBSD-STABLE 4.1.1 I'm very happy with, but now I need to add a second bootable OS on it beside FreeBSD. I know that if I just go with the second OS installation program, it will wipe out my FreeBSD bootsector and most likely all FreeBSD, and that must not happen! On this pc I have a 10GB ata disk and a good part of it is free. Questions: 1. Is there an easy way to install the second os on the same disk or (as I'm more oriented to) take out FreeBSD disk, add another disk, install the second os on that disk, reinsert the FreeBSD disk as the primary disk, and then use FreeBSD tools to configure a dual boot? And if that's the way to go, can anybody help me out with that? 2. At present I only have the following partitions: /dev/ad0s1a / ufs /dev/ad0s1b none swap /dev/ad0s1e /var ufs /dev/ad0s1f /usr ufs I would like to split /usr (which is about 8GB) in two or more... Any hints on how to do that without loosing the valuable data that is already on /usr ? Please answer to my mailbox as well, as I'm not on the list.
